In The Three-Cornered War, author Megan Kate Nelson depicts the events of the American Civil War in the Southwest through the perspectives of nine participants: Magnas Coloradas, Apache leader; Juanita, wife of Navajo warrior Manuelito; Alonzo Ickis, miner turner Union soldier; John Clark, New Mexico Surveyor General; Louisa Canby, wife to Union Colonel Edward Richard Sprigg Canby and nurse to injured soldiers; James Carleton, Union Colonel; Kit Carson, Southwestern frontiersman and Union Brigadier General; John Robert Baylor, Confederate Brigadier General from Texas; and Bill Davidson, a Confederate soldier and Texas lawyer. By using this approach to telling the story of the Civil War in the Southwest, Nelson allows the reader to see the bigger picture and the varying perspectives when it comes to the conflicts over land, water, resources, and trade. The secondary social studies teachers in my school district used this book in a book study group and had several good conversations and discussions. The author concludes the book with the following assertion: The struggles for power in the West exposed a hard and complicated truth about the Union government's war aims: it simultaneously embraced slave emancipation and Native extermination in order to secure an American empire of liberty; I found this situation to be very ironic in light of the fact that the party (Republican) that sought to end slavery was also the party that sought to remove/relocate Native Americans in the American West in the late 1800s. If you teach American history and you and your students are seeking a fresh perspective on the Civil War in the Southwest, The Three-Cornered War will go a long way in fulfilling that goal.
