On top a tan map of war plans and on bottom a scene of war with men and cannons. Across the middle is the phrase "The Civil War on Route 66". The Battle of Glorieta, often called the Gettysburg of the West, might have changed the outcome of the whole war, but it is only one of three Civil War battles that occurred along Route 66. Join Educator and Author Jennifer Bohnhoff as she provides pictures, maps, and stories about the Battles of Glorieta, Albuquerque, and Peralta. Presented by Jennifer Bohnhoff.
