Siege of Pueblo de Taos

The Siege of Pueblo de Taos was an engagement between U.S. forces and Insurgent forces in New Mexico during the Mexican-American War. This siege should not be confused with the Siege of Puebla (Sept 14-Oct 12, 1847) in Puebla, Puebla, Mexico.

Background

In August, 1846 New Mexico fell to U.S. forces under Stephen Watts Kearny. When Kearny departed for California, Colonel Sterling Price was left in command of U.S. forces in New Mexico. In December, 1846 Price learned of a Mexican revolt in the territory. Price encountered resistance at Santa Cruz then moved on to Pueblo de Taos, the center of insurection activity.

The Siege

On February 3, Price reached Taos where he was met with well rebels entrenched at the Pueblo. Price began shelling the town hoping to drive out the rebels. Price's artillery barrage did little to the fortress walls because the U.S. cannons were to small. He completely surrounded the town by the next day. Price decided to attack and after four hours of infantry and artillery attacks the U.S. forces broke through and fought their way into the town. The rebels fled into the mountains and were pursued by dragoons. By February 5 the whole rebel force had surrendered. Price reported having lost 7 killed and 45 wounded. He also claimed to have inflicted 150 casualties on the rebels. Ceran St. Vrain organized a force that was instrumental in suppressing the revolt. St. Vrain's 65 volunteers threw in with more than 300 U.S. troops and set off for Taos. Along the way, they met and beat back a force of some 1,500 Mexicans and Indians. The rebels - as the Americans called them - retreated to Taos Pueblo and took refuge in the thick-walled adobe church there. St. Vrain's "Emergency Brigade" set up a position between the church and the mountains to cut off any of the enemy who tried to escape the frontal assault by the American troops. The mounted volunteers reportedly ran down and killed 51 Mexicans, Taos Indians and Apaches in the fierce, close-quarter fighting that followed.

Results

The action at Pueblo de Taos effectively put an end to the rebellion. The two suspected instigators of the rebellion, Pablo Montoyo and Tomás Baca, were captured in the fighting. Baca was killed by a dragoon before being brought to trial. Montoyo was convicted of treason and hanged.
