Had Henry Hopkins Sibley and his Confederate troops succeeded in capturing New Mexico from the Federals, Jerry Thompson argues, "the entire history of the Southern Confederacy might have been radically altered." In this study, Thompson portrays the life and career of a soldier whose character flaws and leadership weaknesses stood in stark contrast to his sometime military successes and mechanical ingenuity.
