Civil War in the Southwest: March 8th & 9th, 2008
On March 8th & 9th, re-enactments of three different Civil War battles took place at Picacho Peak State Park. The battles were originally fought in Arizona and New Mexico and included battles at Valverde, Glorietta Pass, and Picacho Pass. Since many people only know of the Civil War battles that were fought in the eastern states, these desert battles become another exciting history lesson. With nearly 250 re-enactors living in authentic camps, the event was truly like stepping back in time. Enjoy these pictures from the 2008 event which was attended by thousands of visitors.
Special thanks to: all the Re-enactors, Pinal County Sonoran Search & Rescue, Marana Police Department Explorers, & the many volunteers who made this year's event so memorable.
