The Worst Enemy is the story of two boys. Jemmy Martin is a farm boy from San Antonio, Texas. In Where Duty Calls, the first book in the series, Jemmy joins H.H. Sibley's Army of New Mexico. Sibley invaded New Mexico in the hopes of capturing the Colorado and California gold fields for the Confederacy and fulfilling a dream of manifest destiny for the south by extending its territory to the Pacific Ocean. Jemmy goes not because he has strong Confederate sympathies, but because his brother has sold the family's mules to the Confederate army and he feels the need to protect them and return them home.
The second boy in The Worst Enemy is Cian Lochlann. Cian came to America with his parents to escape the Irish Potato Famine. The family settled in Boston, but by the time he enters his teens, Cian is an orphan. He travels west to try his luck in the Denver gold boom and then, at the outbreak of the Civil War, enlists in the Colorado Volunteers, who are sent south to stop the Confederates.
The two armies, and the two boys, meet in the mountains east of Santa Fe in what becomes known as the Battle of Glorieta Pass. Jemmy and Cian must make a life-changing decision.
Jennifer Bohnhoff is a former Middle School New Mexico History teacher, who now writes full time from her home in the mountains of central New Mexico. The story of Jemmy Martin, Cian Lochlann, and Raul Atencio concludes in the third book of the Rebels Along the Rio Grande trilogy, The Famished Country, which is expected to be released in spring 2024.
