A History of the Site Where the Union forces met the Confederate troops on March 28, 1862 in a hotly contested Battle over control of the Southwestern Territories, And With Recommendations for Interpretation of and Historic Preservation of the lone Remaining Structure from that event at the Glorieta Unit, Pecos National Historical Park, New Mexico. This document provides a historic narrative (Part I) of the Pigeon’s Ranch house complex from the 1850s, through the time of the Civil War, and up to the establishment of the Glorieta Unit of Pecos National Historical Park, November 8, 1990. Much of the research focus was on the Civil War era, how the building looked at that time, how it was used, and the events directly associated with the building during the battle at Pigeon’s Ranch. Later alterations are chronicled, especially the evolution or, more correctly, the devolution to the present three room adobe house. The building’s treatment and use (Part II) is prescribed in the park’s 1996 General Management Plan. Until the resolution of the State Route 50 location, the Pigeon’s Ranch structure will be stabilized, with the exterior used as backdrop to interpret the Battle of Glorieta. Stabilization treatment suggestions are in the recommendations of the report by Tony Crosby (2002).
