"Narrator: In the territory of New Mexico towards the end of the Civil War, an Indian, Sierra Charriba, and his Apache warriors raided, sacked and looted an area almost three times the size of Texas. "
How is this possible? In 1864/65, the Territory of New Mexico included what's now Arizona, but even together, that territory is only about a little bigger than the state of Texas. Maybe they raided the whole thing three times?
If they move, kill 'em!

I think they mean that Sierra Charriba raided that large an area. That would probably include parts of Texas and Mexico in addition to New Mexico.
