Carleton led these Civil War volunteers across southern California and the deserts of Arizona early in 1862, expecting to meet and defeat the Confederates then occupying New Mexico and southern Arizona.	1

The command moved as small units, first to Fort Yuma on the Colorado River, then up the Gila River to the Pima Villages and on to Tucson.
