February 1862 CE

The Confederates march to Valverde Ford, six miles (nine point seven kilometers) north of the fort, in an attempt to outflank the Union forces he next day.

Canby attacks, but the Union forces are driven back by the Confederates under Colonel Thomas Green, who takes command after Sibley is indisposed (some say of drunkenness).

Canby's forces retreat to Fort Craig but refuse to surrender.
