Additional Details:
The Western end of Glorietta Pass is Apache Canyon, a savage notch where the mountain gives grudging pass. A battle once took place on this ground in 1847 between Kearney's Army of the West and the Mexicans, and in 1862 the Federal and Confederate forces met in conflict. At the further end of the Canyon near the track is a little adobe house in which a missionary priest named Lamy, (afterwards archbishop of Santa Fe) once taught the Indians.
