December 1846 CE

Alexander Doniphan and six hundred or so Missouri Volunteers, after much difficulty, reach the Rio Grande in the vicinity of present-day El Paso in late December 1846, repulsing an attack by a small detachment of Mexicans at El Brazito on December 25.

Doniphan’s exhausted force rests at Paso del Norte (present-day Ciudad Juarez).
