I fixed some errors in the article. "1st Colorado Volunteers" is a regiment name, and should not be "Coloradan". The seizing of Mesilla, New Mexico was not the same campaign, but was in the previous summer of 1861 and was led by John Baylor [1]. Sibley's campaign was in the spring of 1862. -- Decumanus 08:04, 2005 May 19 (UTC)

Winter of 1862, actually. By spring, the Sibley brigade was in full retreat back to Texas.
