Thompson has been named the winner of the prestigious 2016 Pate Award for his book, A Civil War History of the New Mexico Volunteers and Militia (University of New Mexico Press.) This is the second Pate Award Thompson has received. The first was received in 2006.
In notifying Dr. Thompson of his selection, Committee member Jim Rosenthal said, “We feel you did the best work on furthering research on the Trans-Mississippi sector of the Civil War. This book will be the number one source for other historians covering any aspect of the New Mexico experience in the War.”
