In 1862 a Confederate Army invaded the Federal Territory of New Mexico, claimed the Confederate Territory of Arizona, and marched up the Rio Grande to drive Union troops north. Along their path lay Fort Craig, an pre-war outpost situated along the Journada del Muerto trading route. 

Coming from California was a column of mounted infantry and cavalry to the rescue, only the Confederates had already been defeated at Glorietta Pass and had already retreated back to El Paso del Norte, Texas; back where they had started. 

Now, garrisoning Fort Craig is a mixture of New Mexico cavalry and California mounted infantry, hispanics and anglos contending with an ever increasing Apache raiding threat. Add rumors and legends of Spanish silver and treasure hidden in the Magdelena Mountains near Socorro, New Mexico and you have the recipe for murder, greed, and a clash of civilizations - old and new. 

Strap on your kit, have plenty of water about you, and get ready to ride the dusty tracked steppe and lush green Rio Grande river belt and discover Civil War New Mexico.
