Beyond the Rio Gila with Author Scott G. Hibbard

 

Beyond the Rio Gila

This historical novel puts the reader in the longest march in U.S. infantry history, which included four laundresses, two of whom were pregnant. The Mormon Battalion trekked through New Mexico, including Santa Fe and Albuquerque, in route from Council Bluffs to San Diego during the Mexican American War. A parallel march by the First Dragoons on horse- and muleback ventured through what is now the Gila Wilderness, guided by Kit Carson.

A fourth-generation Montanan, Scott remains active in the cattle and sheep ranch that the family has owned and operated since 1907. After college, Scott continued his involvement with the family ranch and provided management and consulting services to other ranches. He lives near Helena, Montana.
