This is Episode 61 – Battle of Galveston, the battle of the Sabine Pass, and the battle of Palmito Ranch - I'm your host and guide Hank Wilson We are wrapping up talking about the history of Texas during the Civil war. As I've mentioned in earlier episodes there isn't an exact count of how many battles and skirmishes were fought in Texas. Most of the Texans who fought for either the confederacy or the union took part in battles in Tennessee, Virginia, or elsewhere in the South. There were however four notable battles that did take place in Texas, well the first actually was in New Mexico, but it started in Texas. They are on March 28, 1862, Battle of Glorieta, which I talked about last episode, and today I want to look at the Battle of Galveston October 4, 1862. the battle of Sabine Pass, on September 8, 1863, The Battle of Palmito Ranch, was the last battle of the civil war on May 13, 1865.---- Next time I want to talk about Texas after the civil war, and folks it's not a pretty picture.

Episode 60 – –The Civil War and Texas – The Battle of Glorieta I'm your host and guide Hank Wilson and as always, the broadcast is brought to you by Ashby Navis and Tennyson Media Publishers, Visit AshbyNavis.com for more information. We are smack dab in the middle of telling about the history of Texas during the Civil war. There's no exact count of how many battles and skirmishes that were fought in Texas. In fact, most of the Texans who fought for either the confederacy or the union took part in battles in Tennessee, Virginia, or elsewhere in the South. There were however four notable battles that did take place in Texas, well the first actually was in New Mexico, but it started in Texas. They are on March 28, 1862, Battle of Glorieta, the Battle of Galveston October 4, 1862. the battle of Sabine Pass, on September 8, 1863, The Battle of Palmito Ranch, was the last battle of the civil war on May 13, 1865. What I want to talk about today is one of what many historians consider to be a key (while not necessarily a major battle) is known as the Battle of Glorieta, which occurred on March 28th, 1862. Now it actually took place, not in Texas, but in New Mexico at Glorieta Pass which is in Far West New Mexico. The Confederate force, named Brig. Gen. Henry Hopkins Sibley's Army of New Mexico, actually consisted primarily of men from Texas. The “army” invaded New Mexico, which was Union Territory and captured Fort Fillmore which was located close to the  settlement of Mesilla. The “army” then won another skirmish at Valverde in February of 1862. After that they moved northwest, moving along the banks of the Rio Grande, and by early March they occupied Albuquerque and Santa Fe. After their successful mini invasion, they stopped to gather supplies and rest while they planned their attack on Fort Union which was the Federal Supply Center. It was about 100 miles northwest of Santa Fe and was a major stop for travelers who were on their way to the gold fields in Colorado. Meanwhile, Colorado attorney Colonel John Slough put together a group of volunteers from the gold fields and joined together with detachments of cavalry and infantry from Fort Union to create a force of about 1,300 men. Then on March 22nd, Slough led the group on a march to engage the Texans near Santa Fe. Simultaneously, Sibley moved his main column of men towards Fort Union. Meanwhile, a confederate force of men led by Major Charles Pyron who stayed in Santa Fe, decided to move towards the east along the Santa Fe trail.in an attempt to find and engage with the union forces. He led his troops from Cañoncito in the early morning hours of the 26th of March and almost immediately ran into Slough's advance guard. Slough guard had just about 420 men and was led by Maj. John M. Chivington.  The two forces see each other, the Texans decide to form a traditional straight ahead battle line that blocked passage. The Union forces simply outflanked them by climbing up the hills that bordered the trail. Seeing they were about to lose, the confederate forces retreated back towards a small valley that is known as Apache Canyon. This valley had multiple fields that had been cultivated for farming and it was there they decided to setup another similar battle line, much like the one they had abandoned. Once again Chivington simply ran a flanking action and  this time, since it was more open, he also had his cavalry charge the Texans. As a result, at least 70 Confederates were captured, it is estimated that 4 others were killed, and about 20 were wounded. After this setback, Pyron retreated back to his main camp at Cañoncito from where he dispatched a messenger asking the main Texan force to send him reinforcements. Meanwhile Major Chivington, who also suffered some casualties, 5 men killed and 14 wounded, decided to return to the main Union camp which was 12 miles away at a station known as Koslowski's Ranch. A couple of days later,

We have 3 short battles this week that will lead us right into next week's huge Battle Of Chickamauga. Up first, the September 8th, 1863 Battle of Sabine Pass in Texas was an attempt by the Union to cut off a potential supply route to Mexico after France took control and appointed their own "emperor: there. Jefferson Davis called his one-sided Confederate victory "..the most remarkable in military history" in 1876. Up next, the Battle of Bayou Fourch on September 10th in Arkansas was the final battle in the Little Rock campaign which saw the Union try and take control of the Captiol city of Little Rock. And finally, at the Battle of Davis's Cross Roads on September 10th-11th leads us directly into the Battle Of Chickamauga.You can also listen to this podcast on our YouTube!

In which we look at the action at the Battle of Sabine Pass (Texas), which took place on September 8, 1863.

In which we set the stage for the dramatic September 1863 battle at Sabine Pass, Texas.

The body of water known as Sabine Lake is actually a bay on the Gulf coast of Louisiana and Texas, about 90 miles east of Houston. Funds were first appropriated for a lighthouse at Sabine Pass, an outlet of the bay into the Gulf of Mexico, in 1849, but the project was shelved for a few years. It was first lighted in 1856. The appearance of the tower is unique, with eight buttresses supporting it near its base. Sabine Pass Lighthouse, Louisiana. USLHS photo. A marsh fire destroyed the keeper's house and other buildings in September 1976, leaving just the lighthouse and an oil house standing. The property passed through several hands, and in 2001 it came into the possession of the nonprofit Cameron Preservation Alliance. The organization is working toward a full restoration of the lighthouse. Andrew Tingler Andrew Tingler is the president of the Cameron Preservation Alliance.

Freeport LNG CEO Michael Smith joined us to talk about the state of the market, his company's expansion plans, climate concerns and the start of the Atlantic hurricane season. Activity has started picking up for US developers of new liquefaction terminals after a two-year lull in firm commercial deals that predated the coronavirus pandemic. For existing exporters, global gas and LNG forward prices are trending strong and relatively stable, pointing to a long runway for exporters to enjoy healthy netbacks on deliveries to Europe and Asia, buffeted by cheap feedgas costs due to low US Henry Hub prices. Feedgas deliveries to US LNG export terminals have recently been averaging over 11 Bcf/d, implying utilization of over 90%. Later this year, a seventh major US LNG export terminal could start up and a sixth train at Cheniere Energy's Sabine Pass could begin production.

Cheniere, the biggest exporter of LNG in the US, is working to secure sufficient buyer interest for a proposed mid-scale expansion at its Corpus Christi liquefaction facility in Texas. It is also pursuing initiatives to reduce its carbon footprint at Corpus Christi and at its Sabine Pass export terminal in Louisiana, and give customers more information about the life-cycle emissions of its cargoes. S&P Global Platts senior natural gas writer Harry Weber is joined by Anatol Feygin, Cheniere Energy's chief commercial officer, for a discussion about current trends in the global LNG market, with a special emphasis on North America and the energy transition.

For those interested in American military history, it offers insights into a nation 150 years ago that was headed westward and facing enormous growing pains. After the 1803 Louisiana Purchase, the United States’ western borders were not clearly defined. The U.S. claimed eastern Texas and the Spanish claimed west Louisiana. The area became known as the “Neutral Ground,” an infamously lawless region that led to Fort Jesup’s founding in 1822. Postcards from Louisiana.

In 1714, traveling up the Red River on his way from present-day Alabama to Mexico, French-Canadian trader Louis Antoine Juchereau de St. Denis came upon a massive, impenetrable logjam that stopped him from advancing further. St. Denis had two huts hastily constructed, which also happened to be in a Natchitoches Indian village, and thus established the first permanent European settlement in the territory later called the Louisiana Purchase. A more substantial fort was constructed two years later to serve as a means of preventing Spanish soldiers from entering what was then French territory. The newly named Fort St. Jean Baptiste grew, becoming one of the most important trading centers in the Lower Mississippi Valley. Three Caddo Indian tribe were instrumental in ensuring France’s success at the fort, located in the center of present-day Natchitoches, because they formed communication networks between the French and Spanish settlers, plus other Native American groups.

· The six major US LNG terminals reported a utilisation rate of 40% in late June as the marginal LNG supply source adjusts to lower gas prices. Since April, when the market impact from the virus began to take shape, ~130 cargoes have been cancelled for loading in the US. · US LNG cargo cancellations for August currently estimated at 40-45 (similar to July levels). More than half of the cancelled US cargo loadings for August are tied to Cheniere's Sabine Pass terminal in Louisiana (16 – 23 cargoes) and Corpus Christi terminal in Texas. The Gulf Coast Marker (GCM) to Henry Hub spread has been negative since the end of March and has reached differentials as wide as negative US$0.7/MMBtu, implying very negative export economics. · Gas prices in the US are likely to come under further pressure this summer as US natural gas production has recovered this month – partly to do with the resilience of dry gas plays and reflecting reversal of US oil field shut-ins at wet gas plays. Production is recovering at a time of weak domestic demand, limited export availability to exports as well as lower feedgas deliveries to US LNG export facilities (down 38% compared to May levels). · In Europe, gas storage capacity has reached 77% by late-June compared with the five-year average of 53% for the same period. Storage is expected to be full by August and is likely to place further pressure on gas prices over the next few months until demand picks up.

622 The prophet Muhammad completes his Hegira, or “flight,” from Mecca to Medina to escape persecution. In Medina, Muhammad set about building the followers of his religion—Islam—into an organized community and Arabian power. The Hegira would later mark the beginning (year 1) of the Muslim calendar. 1789 The Judiciary Act of 1789 is passed by Congress and signed by President George Washington, establishing the Supreme Court of the United States as a tribunal made up of six justices who were to serve on the court until death or retirement. That day, President Washington nominated John Jay to preside as chief justice, and John Rutledge, William Cushing, John Blair, Robert Harrison, and James Wilson to be associate justices. On September 26, all six appointments were confirmed by the U.S. Senate. 1960 The USS Enterprise (CVN-65), the first nuclear powered aircraft carrier, is launched.

Rita was the 4th named storm to make landfall during the 2005 season, and the 3rd hurricane to strike the US. Rita was the 4th most intense hurricane on record in the Atlantic Basin as the time, and the most intense hurricane ever observed in the Gulf of Mexico. Rita caused $12 billion in damages and a state of disaster was declared in 9 Texas Counties and 5 Louisiana Parishes as a result of the devastation.
