Brazito or Temascolitos was located on the Rio Grande about 30 miles north of the Mexican town El Paso (now known as Juarez). At Brazito on December 25, 1846, Colonel Alexander Doniphan and his Missouri Volunteers engaged a Mexican force under Major Antonio Ponce de Leon. After the Mexicans withdrew, Doniphan and his men occupied El Paso (today's Juarez). The plan was originally drawn by Missouri Volunteer L.A. MacLean.
