General Carleton’s 1862 New Mexico campaign targets Indian raids
In 1862 General James H. Carleton arrived in New Mexico and ordered Fort Stanton reoccupied to punish Mescalero Apaches. He sent Kit Carson with four companies to oppose the Indians while Lieutenant Colonel J. Francisco Chaves moved into Navajo country to fortify Fort Wingate. Indian Agent Lorenzo Labadie proposed colonization and reservations as a “final solution,” a plan that led to Bosque Redondo and brutal campaigns against the Mescalero and Navajo, with over 8,000 Navajos surrendering after Canyon de Chelly.
