overshadowed the draft issue– Women looted stores, hijacked

trains, and attacked Confederate supply depots to get bread and other food.

Union victory. The battle lasted for three days because the Confederates were able to control the pass. The Union army was victorious on the third day.

western-most “battle” of the American Civil War was fought on the flanks of Picacho Peak, 50 miles northwest of Tucson.– Union cavalry patrol from California and a party of

expected Union attack.– The commanding officer of the Union cavalry was

killed and is buried by the RR tracks at Picacho—Lt. James Barrett

• He would deal compassionately with the South after the war ended.

• April 14, 1865—five days after the South surrendered, John Wilkes Booth shot President Lincoln.
