America's Three Cornered War

The American Civil War is a much studied subject. Dr. Megan Kate Nelson visits with me about her new book "The Three Cornered War," a look at the struggle for the New Mexico Territory. The story is told expertly through the viewpoint of various characters of the struggle. Dr. Nelson is the author of  Ruin Nation: Destruction and the American Civil War and many articles on history and culture. More information can be found on Dr. Nelson at megankatenelson.com.
