The Battle of Glorieta, often called the Gettysburg of the West, might have changed the outcome of the whole war, but it is only one of three Civil War battles that occurred along Route 66. Join Educator and Author Jennifer Bohnhoff as she provides pictures, maps, and stories about the Battles of Glorieta, Albuquerque, and Peralta. There will be free parking for the speaker series in the lot across the street from the library, courtesy of the Albuquerque Historical Society. For more information, visit www.Route66Speakers.org.
