During the darkest days of the Civil War, some 400 Spanish-speaking Californians (Californios) answered the call to defend the Union by forming the 1st Battalion of Native Cavalry. Legendary for their horsemanship and armed with lances that evoked their Spanish heritage, they pursued bandits, campaigned against Indians, secured desert roads, and patrolled the border against Maximilian’s partisans while posted at Fort Yuma and other places in California and Arizona. Largely forgotten by history, theirs is one of the strangest stories of the army in the Far West. Guest speaker, Tom Prezelski is a Tucson native and former member of the Arizona House of Representatives. Tom Prezelski worked in economic development for the Pascua Yaqui Tribe and Tohono O’odham Nation. Californio Lancers is his first book.
