Errors

I fixed some errors in the article. "1st Colorado Volunteers" is a regiment name, and should not be "Coloradan". The seizing of Mesilla, New Mexico was not the same campaign, but was in the previous summer of 1861 and was led by John Baylor [1]. Sibley's campaign was in the spring of 1862. -- Decumanus 08:04, 2005 May 19 (UTC)

Winter of 1862, actually. By spring, the Sibley brigade was in full retreat back to Texas.

Forces

I have a question about the first line of the section "Forces".

"The Union forces located in the Department of New Mexico were led by Colonel Edward Canby..."

The "Department of New Mexico" would have been a division/section/subdivision of the US Army located in the New Mexico Territory. The land would have been called New Mexico Territory. The sentence should be either:

"The Union forces located in the New Mexico Territory were led by Colonel Edward Canby..."

- or -

"The Union forces in the Department of New Mexico were led by Colonel Edward Canby..."

Is there a preference ? Jes007 (talk) 17:45, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
