Book Description
Excerpt from The Colorado Volunteers Camp Adams was, upon our arrival, in its in fancy. A few of the companies had arrived and staked their claims, but many were yet to come. At six o'clock that evening the first guard was mounted and all night long the still ness was only broken by the rolling call of the sentries as the announcement of the hour went around the camp on the crisp, cold air: Twelve o'clock and a - a - all's well. All through the night, troops continued to arrive, pitch tents and settle down, and when the morning of the twenty-ninth broke, bright and clear, Camp Adams was a reality.

Book Description
Excerpt from Colorado Volunteers in the Civil War: The New Mexico Campaign in 1862 Our Civil \var was the most tremendous struggle for preserva tion Of the national unity Of a homogeneous people Of which the annals Of our race contain any record. Its battle-front was more than two thousand miles long, reaching from the Virginia Coast far into the large Territory of New Mexico, which, until the organiza tion Of Arizona Territory in 1863, extended westward to California. Near the western end Of this unparalleled fighting-line one Of the highly momentous campaigns in that great national tragedy was closed in victory for the Union early in the second year Of the war. The men in whom were the military ability and the very bone and Sinew Of the Union cause In that campaign, and who bore the burden Of hardship and sacrifice in winning the victory which abruptly checked and turned the rising tide Of Confederate successes in the Southwest, were citizen-soldiers Of the of Colorado. On the part Of the Confederates that campaign meant far more than appears when it is considered merely as a military enterprise as an ambitious mroad into a section of the national domain out side the boundaries Oi the Southern Confederacy. Back of it was a political project Of vast magnitude, upon which enthusiastic South ern leaders had set their hearts.

Book Description
"Hollister was a private in the First Regiment of Colorado Volunteers which fought the New Mexican campaign against the invading Texan troops in March, 1862. This book might have been a dry recital of facts. Fortunately Hollister was not only an educated man but natural writer who brought to his task imagination, a deep human interest, and a careful reporter's news sense. Here is no grandfather's tale but a narrative so live that it might have taken place yesterday. Here is history that echoes with thrilling adventure. Hollister, hardened, realistic soldier-author, seemed to know, as he made daily entries in his diary, that his on-the-spot reportage of the rawhide passions and broadrange loyalties, the hearty campfire humor and the grim punishment of forced winter marches, the ignoble details of life as he saw it in a fighting man's era, must be set down for all of us who were to come after his rugged breed. The true importance of the campaign between the Coloradans and the Texans goes far beyond a local effect. It was one of the decisive struggles of the Civil War. If Sibley's seasoned Texas Brigade had won, they surely would have dominated the West and its resources. They would have seized the defenseless gold mines which were the potential treasure cache of the armies of the North. The war might have been prolonged indefinitely."-William MacLeod Raine.
