September 27, 1861---The Battle of Pinos Altos, Arizona Territory C.S.A.



SEPTEMBER 27, 1861:       

The Battle of Pinos Altos. C.S.A. Arizona Guards troopers drive back an Apache raid on the town of Pinos Altos by loading an old cannon with nails, rocks and broken tools. When the shrapnel horribly wounds their warriors in the vanguard, the Apaches withdraw. Unlike the eastern tribes, western tribes did not ally themselves with the Confederacy.
