   The definitive work on the battle, Don E. Alberts's The Battle of Glorieta: Union Victory in the West offers a detailed history of this blind, groping struggle in the smoke filled valley.Based on documentary and archaeological evidence, The Battle of Glorieta presents both the Confederate and Federal military organization and approach to the battle, incorporates all known Union participant accounts, and details the exact complement of both Confederate and Federal artillery
   
   Alberts also reveals, with rigorous supporting evidence, a whole new site for the Battle of Apache Canyon and reaches the startling, yet now inevitable, conclusion that the Battle of Glorieta was indeed a clear and significant Union Victory

   Federal officials learned of the looting in November 2004, when Don Alberts, a retired historian for Kirtland Air Force Base, tipped them off about a macabre possession he'd seen at Brecheisen's home about 30 years earlier.
   
   Alberts described seeing the mummified remains of a black soldier with patches of brown flesh clinging to facial bones and curly hair on top of its skull.Alberts said the body had come from Fort Craig.
   ...
   Alberts said that skull, which still had hair attached, was the one he'd seen years earlier.
   ...
   Alberts described him as a collector; it wasn't clear whether Brecheisen sold any of the items.
   ...
   I offered to act as an honest broker to the deal and see that they were returned, but I didn't get a response," Alberts said."I didn't want to get a friend in trouble."
   
   He added: "But you look back and think you would have done everything differently if you would have known everything was going to disappear."
