Civil War
Many websites offer information about Pima
county people's involvement in the Civil War.
"Arizona's Civil War story is a colorful
one. Colonel John R. Baylor of the Confederate
States of America defeated Union troops in
Arizona and New Mexico in March 1861. Arizona
became a Confederate Territory when it was
annexed by President Jefferson Davis. Baylor was
later named governor in January 1862. He set up
a territorial government for the Confederacy
with its own constitution. It was not until
General Carelton and the California Volunteers
recaptured Tucson in June 1862 and drove out
Confederate forces was Arizona under Union
control. Arizona became a territory under the
Union flag February 26 1863. The Battle of
Picacho Pass, 'the westernmost conflict of the
Civil War,' was fought on April 15, 1862. It
took place between Tucson and Phoenix near
Picacho Peak."
