Valverde, N. M. (New Mexico, United States) (search for this): chapter 8.82
Canby at Valverde. by A. W. Evans, Lieutenant-Colonel, U. S. A. Colonel Canby reached the field of Valverde in the afternoon, during the lull, proceeding to the position of MoRae's battery. One or two shots were fired from it after his arrival without eliciting a reply. After consultation and examination of the position, he moved that battery about two hundred yards to the left and directed the placing of its supports, which had hardly — if at all — got completely into position when the TValverde in the afternoon, during the lull, proceeding to the position of MoRae's battery.

After consultation and examination of the position, he moved that battery about two hundred yards to the left and directed the placing of its supports, which had hardly — if at all — got completely into position when the Texan charge was made. It was a surprise, and the attacking force (picked men) was superior in numbers to the supports of the battery — certainly to the regulars in support. Hall's battery (its commander is now Major R. H. Hall, 22d U. S. Infantry) was an extempore one of two 24-pounders, one of which was disabled in the course of the day by the breaking of its trail, and was taken off the field.

antry, Captain Ingraham, were sent, but did not reach him in time, or only got half-way. One of McRae's caissons (possibly a limber-box, but I think the former) was blown up in the fight,--it was said, by one of his sergeants firing his pistol into it to prevent its capture, but this is not authenticated. The New Mexican volunteers in support broke early, and caused much confusion. It was reported that the muzzles of the cannon had been elevated for distant firing, and that in the flurry they were not depressed, thus firing over the heads of the approaching enemy. The ammunition was, I think, only round shot and spherical case; there was no grape. That the Union troops were successful in the morning under Colonel Roberts and were defeated in the evening under Colonel Canby was the fortune of war. It is not always correct to argue post hoc, proper hoc. The result would probably have been the same if the commanders had been reversed, or if Colonel Canby had remained at Fort Craig.
