Looking for the definitive books on the New Mexico Campaign and the battle of Chickamauga. These two events really stuck out to me when reading Foote.

Does Peter Cozzens do the job in This Terrible Sound or is there a better book on Chickamauga?

I have no idea where to look for the NM campaign.

Thanks for the help!

Cozzens is a good place to start
I'd also recommend Six Armies in Tennessee for the wider campaign

As for New Mexico:
Sibley's New Mexico Campaign is the only book on the campaign I'm aware of
There are other books out there on the battles, but
Valverde is worth a look

I am sure Ammianus, for which this topic is a special interest, will have more suggestions.

I second that - thanks Surly
Also, try looking in Ammianus' library under trans-Mississippi http://www.librarything.com/catalog/Ammianus&tag=Trans-Mississippi

RE Chickamauga, I concur with Donogh on Cozzens & SIX Armies...see also in my collection under the TAG: Army of Tennessee for further reading. Chickamauga & Chattanooga NMPs are great places to visit (I had a number of relatives in the AoT).
