Teniente General R.S. Canby
Maj. Gen. R. S. Canby
Soon after the Civil War began, Canby was named colonel of the Nineteenth Infantry at Fort Defiance, New Mexico Territory. In a series of battles (Valverde on February 21, 1862, and Apache Canyon and Glorieta on March 27 and 28), Canby's troops blunted a Confederate invasion led by Gen. Henry H. Sibley, who turned back into Texas. Canby's actions prevented Confederate expansion from Texas into the greater Southwest. Image Description: Image shows a portrait woodcut drawing of Edward R. S. Canby. The drawing depicts Canby from his chest up facing the camera. He wears a military coat with a set of three buttons far apart that come down his coat. At his shoulders there are two military shoulder boards with what appear stars on them; his dark hair is parted at the side and cut short just above his ears.
