Picacho Peak

The United Daughters of the Confederacy erected the Wesley Bolin Confederate Troops Monument in honor of the soldier who fought in the Battle of Picacho Pass. The image is of the peak the men fought below in the westernmost battle of the Civil War. On April 15, 1862 thirteen California Union soldiers and ten Arizona Confederate soldiers engaged in a small skirmish. This battle marked the edge of the Confederacy during the Civil War.
