Ben Lilly – The Last of the Mountain Men by Robbie Roberts
Benjamin Vernon Lilly was born in the winter of 1856 in Wilcox County, Alabama. Nicknamed Ol’ Lily, Benjami
he was a notorious big game hunter, houndsman, and mountain man of the American Old West. He remains famous for downing large numbers of grizzly, cougars, and black bears. He was an odd mix between transcendentalist spirit and an ardent Christian. He was a stern practitioner of simple living and outdoor freedom. He roamed and hunted from Louisiana to Arizona and as far south as Chihuahua Mexico. In 1907, he guided President Theodore Roosevelt on a hunt in Louisiana. Roosevelt was impressed with his physical prowess and wrote “I never met man so indifferent to fatigue and hardship. The morning he joined us in camp he had come on foot through the thick woods, followed by his two dogs, and neither had eaten or drank for twenty-four hours. It had rained hard throughout the night and he had no shelter, no rubber coat, nothing but the clothes he was wearing and the ground was too wet for him to lie on, so he perched in a crooked tree in the beating rain, much as he had been a wild turkey.” After the Roosevelt hunt, Ben moved further out West. There, he learned to hunt bear and cougar and was known for his love of hand-to-hand combat using only his self-made custom Bowie knife, more precisely a double edged S-shaped large Arkansas toothpick named the “Lilly Knife”. It is very similar to the knife on display at the Frank Brownell Museum of the Southwest that Lilly gave to a very young George Whittington in 1929. He gave the knife to Whittington while he was visiting the GOS Ranch with his father. His favorite firearms were the Winchester 1886 chambered in 33 WCF and the 1894 chambered in 30 WCF. Ben Lilly died on the GOS Ranch on December 17, 1936 and is buried in the Memory Lane Cemetery in Silver City New Mexico. Ben Lilly and the way in which he lived his life is a true testament to the spirit of those who helped to settle the West.
Our Museum Needs a New Home
www.nrawc.org 16 N
The Frank Brownell Museum of Southwest is located at the NRA Whittington Center in Raton, New Mexico. The mission of our museum is to tell the history of the American southwest through the firearms, artifacts and art work from the early Paleo Indians days up through modern times. The museum opened in 2006 and was met with enthusiasm and many people lining up to donate property in order to be part of this unique undertaking. It is unique in that very few museum’s use their displays to tell a story. Several of our displays are dedicated to local history revolving around Raton’s rich history. Museums are important in that most preserve our history and heritage. With the massive amount of historical items to preserve, it was not long before we out grew our facilities and we are in desperate need of expansion. Recently, a fundraising campaign was started to raise more than $2.6 million in order to triple the size of current museum. We are reaching out to everyone for help in order to make this effort a success. We are already well into the money raising effort, but need more help. If you can contribute please contact anyone at the Center. Even if you’re unable to make a donation, please come and visit as we believe you will enjoy the experience. We are open seven days a week from 8AM to 5PM NewAdmission legends is free.magazine during the week and from 9AM to 4PM on weekends.

How Long Does Marijuana Stay in Your System? by Dave Munn
THC Drug Test & How Long Does Cannabis Stay In Your System?
At one time or another, cannabis consumers or those interested in experiencing cannabis for the 1st time have likely found themselves wondering, “how long does marijuana stay in your system?” There comes a point in every canna-sseur’s life where the effects of cannabis on your body come to question. This couldn’t hold more true for those of us consuming medical/recreational marijuana in states where recreational consumption is NOT legal. As research continues to build a convincing case on the positive effects of marijuana consumption, more and more people are becoming interested in exploring the plant and its numerous applications. With all the curiosity, a common question can arise for those of us not living in a legal state. How long does marijuana stay in your system? Cannabis use is on the rise thanks to the recent recreational marijuana laws in Colorado and other recent states across America that adopted legislation supporting recreational and or medicinal use. We all want to know, and so we did a little research. Let it be known, we’re not experts regarding the human body nor experts on how quickly each individual metabolizes cannabinoids but we’ll share with you what we researched and let you decide!
How Long Does Marijuana Stay In Your System?
Man THC drug test studies have looked for answers to the question, how long can cannabis stays in your system? Many The answer to this question greatly depends on your individual body type, how much water you consume and other variables that differ from person to person. What really matters is whether you’re smoking or eating your marijuana, and how much you consume. Smoking marijuana has been found as the fastest way to show traces of THC in your system. It happens almost Smokin instantly after your first take a hit. However, they say subjects in a recent study who were not considered regular marijuana smokers, had a significant drop in THC after the first 9 hours of smoking a 2 gram joint. Their levels quickly fell from a moderate count in the first 10 minutes of smoking to almost no trace of THC by the end of their high. Pretty interesting stuff right? So what if you’re considering eating edibles?
How Long Do Edibles Stay In Your System?
Wit the recent boom in cannabis edibles in Colorado, many consumers want to know how long do edibles stay in your With system? Different factors affect edible consumption compared to other marijuana products that you ingest. Ora Oral ingestion of MMJ leads to a very different pattern of THC levels in our bodies. They actually were shown to have a much longer and stronger presence in our system. Participants given 20mg THC ( 2x’s recommended single dose of 10mg) cookies were shown to have reached peak THC levels between 1 to 5 hours following consumption. Another interesting fact about consuming the plant is that THC levels were not impacted by the participant’s tolerance to smoking or ingesting marijuana through oral consumption. A few of the patients even showed delayed traces of THC in their system as long as 50 hours after their first bite. Another thing to consider on this topic is being aware of cannabis in your blood. end of part 1...part 2 next issue cannabi

your buds otherwise known as “trichomes.” Since the weed is ground so fine the vape chamber heats evenly which ensures that you get the most THC out of each hit. Because the weed is being vaporized, you will get advice by Jess of Faragosi Farms smoother hits and a lot less smell lingering on your face and clothes thus giving you a clean, smokeless high. Plus, it’s better for your lungs than Is smoking the only way smoking. to enjoy cannabis? What 2. Dabbing: If you’ve been hearing people talk about wax and shatter or are some other methods I dabbing don’t feel intimidated. Think of it as the new school version of hash that falls under the umbrella called “concentrates.” Concentrates are could try? made a variety of ways, but the most common way is to take about a quarter ounce of pot and blast it with a solvent like butane or CO2 and Of course, there are many then purge the remaining solvent so it doesn’t look or taste gross. Wax ways to enjoy cannabis! and shatter are essentially the same the only difference is texture: wax is Since this is such an innovative whipped during the purging process giving it a crumbly or sometimes industry there have been buttery consistency. Whereas shatter is laid flat creating an almost clear glass-like appearance. This extraction process yields a product that is more potent than regular cannabis. As the name suggests it’s concentrated, so it can be quite potent usually ranging between sixty to ninety percent THC…crazy, but don’t be intimidated! All you need is just a little dab. Wax and shatter can be consumed many ways, but the most common is dabbing which is really just a form of vaping. Dabbing involves using a modified bong called an “oil rig.” Essentially, in place of a bowl used for weed, you would use a nail. You would then heat the nail up with a torch (since it must be hot enough to vaporize) and then touch a little bit (remember it will be more potent than regular pot) of the concentrate to the nail where it will vaporize instantly. If the torch freaks you out - don’t worry! Portable vape pens for concentrates can be purchased and are very easy to use. With a vape pen the concentrates are vaporized at a high heat just like it would with an oil rig - minus the torch. Your concentrate of choice will fully melt and leave no product behind. Just like vaping regular pot, using a vape pen or dabbing ends up being much better for your lungs compared to smoking. Plus, it gets you stoned faster since concentrates are higher in potency and it saves you money since you only need one little dab at a time to send you flying. Have fun and experiment with some new ways to enjoy cannabis or just stick with what is tried and true for you. Happy Smoking!

A
Tower for Trinidad
by Ric Lassiter
I propose the construction of a tower for Trinidad—designed, engineered, and fabricated by
our local tradesmen. A steel tripod supporting an inverted, unfinished dome made of 8” I-Beams, 70’ tall. Skewed, asymmetric, unsettled. I want to build it next to the old cottonwood tree that stands at the river’s edge just north of the Waterworks building, creating a natural extension to Cimino Park—the rusting steel of the Tower echoing the colonnade in the Park—on land originally owned by Felipe Baca. I want to build it for Felipe Baca and his wife who came here and built a home, a school, a church, and a town and named it after their little girl. I want to build it for the ranchers out east who came here from Ireland to escape famine and English landlords to build new lives from the ground up in country so harsh jackrabbits have to pack a lunch each morning. And for the Greeks, Italians, Spaniards, Austrians, and Slavs who came to work the mines. Men and women so strong and proud, not even Rockefeller could bow their heads. And for the brave people who came here to face the knives of Dr. Stanley Biber and Dr. Marci Bowers in order to show everyone who they really are. I want to build it for all those people who didn’t fit in, who were uneasy with the easy status quo, who had the courage and determination—uncommon in any age—to take responsibility for their own lives and chose this place to wipe their slates clean. This unique place—a geographic cul-de-sac, a mythic landscape, split down the middle by the River of the Lost Souls of Purgatory, bounded on the west by the Blood of Christ Mountains, on the north by the Breasts of the Earth, on the east by a 600-mile wide sea of grass, and on the south by a Mesa so wild there is still no marked trail to its summit. And I want to build it for myself. I came here 43 years ago and settled on 40 acres of land three miles north of Bon Carbo. I was exhausted from trying to fit in where I clearly didn’t. I had $400, a sack of rice, a sack of oatmeal, and a ‘51 Chevy pickup (which I soon traded for a hand pump for the well). I also had a degree in Communication Art and Design from Virginia Commonwealth University—which meant I had no marketable skills. There were still two mines operating here—the Allen and the Maxwell— ...cont’d on pg.51 - 50 - 50 N

Tower for Trinidad continued
...but they were dying. There was still a Montgomery Wards, a Penny’s, and a Kresge’s on Main Street, but they were soon shuttered. The Chronicle-News came out once a week and was printed in Raton. The local radio station played polkas and marching band music at 7am each morning to keep up the spirits of the few remaining people. Trinidad was wiping its own slate clean. I set up a tipi and lived in it for a year while I built the dome I still live in. Why a dome? First, it was easy, which was important because I didn’t know anything. Second, the point was to build a new life, and there was nothing newer at the time than a dome. But most important was that the idea of a dome seemed to be a stick in the eye to all those people who did fit in, who glided along on smooth career paths without a bump or detour, seemingly untroubled by all those things that troubled me. That first winter in the tipi was hard. I nearly died. Snow above my knees, below 20 degree nights, no lights, no friends, almost no hope. When Spring finally came, I found a job building FHA houses for Virgil Casias for $20 a day. I spent my money $1 at a time for showers at the Prospect Plaza, and $3 at a time for burritos at the El Paso café where the green chili was a revelation to this white son of the South. There were others like me who arrived at that time and settled around the abandoned coal camps of Del Agua, BonCarbo, Segundo, and Primero. Misfits like me. Some good, some bad, some made it, some didn’t, but we helped sustain Trinidad and Las Animas County in those dry years after the mines closed. Like me, many built homes as outward symbols of their desire to start over and reinvent themselves. There is no more potent metaphor for freedom and independence than to build your own home with your own hands. This place gave us the freedom to do that. While we have our share of Cape Cods, we also have yurts, log homes, straw bales, domes, Earth Ships, pyramids. Homes built into the earth and homes floating above it. Homes powered by the sun and wind, with gardens watered by God’s own rain. I have been lucky enough to have helped design and build some of these homes. My work has appeared in Fine Homebuilding, Mother Earth News, and American Artist. I love this country and the out-of-ordinary people who live here. Trinidad has been good to my family and me. I want to build this tower to show my gratitude.

World traveler and native New Zealander enriches Trinidad State program Trinidad State Massage Therapy Instructor Kay Evans demonstrates foot massage.
H
“In the time I have been here,” said Kay Evans, Director of the Holistic Health and Massage Therapy program on the Trinidad Campus, “massage has gone from this weird touching thing to a mainstream form of therapy. You don’t have to explain to every single person what massage is. They know.” Evans thinks stress and unresolved pain are probably the root cause of more people seeking alternative health care.
er story is certainly unique and reaches from New Zealand to China to the United Kingdom and then to Colorado. In all her stops, she has picked up tools to help people deal with pain and stress.
that time restrooms (“the loo” in New Zealand) consisted of shacks built over small streams of water where you simply squatted to do your business! Considering toilet paper was not provided, she said this was a bit disconcerting!
One of her loves—therapeutic massage— has exploded and demand for graduates is high, but student numbers are not. There is a shortage of therapists. “It’s not an easy course of study. It’s intense and physically demanding, but incredibly rewarding.”
From China, Evans traveled to the UK where she worked in a children’s hospital for a year and then took a job in Cyprus where she set up two operating “theatres”
For me, it’s the most exquisite magical thing, to work with another person on an energetic touching level.
Evans interest in things natural was evidenced at age seven when she announced to her family in New Zealand that she was joining the Royal Forest and Bird Protection Society. She said her dad very bravely joined her and they learned about the native species in their area and grew plants together. “Plants have always been important to me; they help me evolve,” she said. “Because we lived rural, we always had a big garden and grew our own food.” Before she left home at the age of 21, she had completed her nurses’ training including operating “theatre” (room) training. She would seek work in the United Kingdom but visit China first. She loved the food and the country’s rich history and the massive city of Hong Kong with its dramatic geography. But she stood a head taller than the Chinese people. She felt uncomfortable especially when a monsoon hit, and all the extended umbrellas 54 came right to her throat! At
N
and a 28-bed hospital. When she arrived there, she had the expectation of an English-speaking staff, “but they knew about six English words they learned from TV!” Evans bought a Greek dictionary. Because Greek and Russian share the Cyrillic alphabet, learning Greek was easy for her. She had learned Russian in high school and she also speaks IndonesianMalay. During her nearly four-year stay, she explored the region. To date her travels include 53 countries! Evans returned to the United Kingdom once again, this time to recruit doctors and nurses to go to the Middle East. While there, she studied Chinese medicine. The first modality she learned was Jin Shin, the art of releasing tensions that block the energy pathways in the body. She also did her massage training there. She thinks her interest in body work began in high school where she
grew up playing sports. She always wanted to heal any sprains as quickly as possible and get back to playing. Although untrained, she would massage everybody’s feet. She played netball (like basketball without backboards and dribbling) at an international level, but she also played cricket and tennis—and she swam. “Everywhere in New Zealand is less than two hours from water, so you have to be able to manage in water,” said Evans, who was a lifeguard in high school. “Sailing is the one thing I truly miss from home.” Evans added sports training to her massage work and was doing body work for sports injuries in the United Kingdom. A couple of her clients were on the UK Cycling Team and that opened doors for her to go wherever they were competing. She learned about body work and psychology which helped her to understand that mental and emotional states can impact body cells. Her keen interest in plants and healing led to essential oils and then to her aromatherapy business. Her mentor, an Englishman named Mike Homes, whose

family owned a lavender farm in France, taught her all about essential oils. Through her aromatherapy business she met the health and beauty editor for the Daily Mail Magazine with the biggest circulation in Europe at that time. She was featured in that magazine often and wrote many articles for it, which eventually led to her book about essential oils, Arousing Aromas, (not her choice of title) published in 1997. It’s still available today. She uses it currently in her Essential Oils class.

When the European Union passed a law that essential oil products had to have a shelf life of two years, she sold her business. She could not, in good conscience, preserve her aromatherapy products by adding anything unnatural.
While she considered her options, she came to the United States to attend a workshop in Boulder, Colorado. After the workshop, Evans’ flight home was delayed for two weeks due to a plane malfunction. Ironically, during that time, she would meet the man she would marry. Ultimately, she moved to the United States, married, completed her intensive nursing registration, and went to work at Parkview Hospital in Pueblo. While there, she was asked to teach Aromatherapy at Trinidad State and then several other classes. The next year (2004) she was asked to take over the program at the college and has been there since.
At that point she said, “OK, universe, all I want to do is serve, so take me where I
“All my jobs have been creating something that hasn’t existed before,” said Evans.
“Training was very good at home and I never felt out of my league. I have always asked myself, ‘How can this be done?’” Evans has applied that attitude to Holistic Health and Massage Therapy and has helped to create an entirely new program in an ever-evolving alternative health care industry. Trinidad State offers training in Massage Therapy, Holistic Health, Reflexology, Herbology and Health and Wellness.

Clay Allison "He never killed
a man that did not need killing" c 2017 by Jan MacKell Collins
It wasn't Clay Allison's fault that a man tried to shoot him
while the two were sharing a pleasant dinner. And that fellow he beat for overcharging him at the ferry crossing deserved it. Then there were all those bad men running around the west, the ones who could only be wrangled and ultimately dealt with by a lynch mob. Who else to lead the charge in lawless New Mexico but Allison? Call him dangerous, call him ill-tempered, but Clay Allison dealt with life on his own terms. Of all of the wild escapades attributed to Allison, some are actually true. Born circa 1840 to a minister's family, Allison led a seemingly complacent life on the family farm. When the Civil War broke out in 1861, he joined the Confederate Army. They discharged him almost immediately due to an old head injury which produced "paroxysmal of a mixed character, partly epileptic and partly maniacal". Undaunted, Allison simply re-enlisted with a different regiment. He served until 1865 when the entire regiment surrendered. Allison returned to his parents' farm. When soldiers attempted to seize the family home, one of them broke a treasured vase his father had given his mother. In a rage, Allison shot the offending soldier dead. Whether he was held accountable is unknown but soon after, Allison and his siblings headed west. In 1866, he began working for noted cattlemen Charles Goodnight, Irwin Lacy and M.L. Dalton. With the latter, and his brothers, he relocated to Colfax County, New Mexico in about 1870. The army had done little to control Allison's temper. Although he bought a ranch near Springer, he was soon the bell of the bawdy ball at places like Cimarron and Elizabethtown. The Allison boys not only frequented the saloons, gambling houses and brothels, but enjoyed shooting up both towns when in their cups. Despite the revelry, Allison considered himself an upstanding citizen who saw no reason to lay down his guns. In one story, he was responsible for leading a mob to lynch serial killer Charles Kennedy. Afterwards, Allison cut off the man's head and took it to Cimarron where it was deposited on a post in front of the St. James Hotel. In another version, Allison killed a man for abusing a Native American woman and forcing her into prostitution. The head of that offender also was cut off and posted in front of a Cimarron bar for several days. Which story is true, or whether either story is true, has been lost to history. Other of Allison's escapades included stealing government mules and shooting himself in the foot during his escape, accosting city officials, and the famed killing of Chunk Colbert in 1874. Colbert was in fact holding a grudge, for some years before Allison had beat the man's uncle senseless for overcharging him at a ferry on the Brazos River. When Colbert innocently invited Allison to race horses and dine together, Allison casually accepted. All seemed friendly until Colbert attempted to shoot the gunman during dinner. Allison was faster, shooting Colbert in the head. Later, he said, he dinne had accepted the invitation because, "I didn't want to send a man to hell on an empty stomach." - 56 -

Clay Allison "He never killed a man that did not need killing" For several more years, Allison maintained his nasty reputation around New Mexico and even Colorado. There were more confrontations, more lynch mobs and more killings. Allison always claimed his actions were in the best interest of everyone. Once in 1876, after a news article accused him of "mob violence", Allison and two friends broke into the news office. The trio set off a small charge of black powder and threw the type press into the Cimarron River. Afterwards, Allison returned to the office and paid $200 towards the damage. In spite of the accusations against him, Allison always managed to escape prosecution. He may have even mellowed with age. When he moved on to Missouri in 1877 and stopped at Dodge City along the way, Allison was asked to, and did, surrender his gun peaceably for a change. He next settled on a ranch in Texas, where his antics became tamer but still humorous: once, on a drunken binge, Allison rode his horse through the town of Mobeetie wearing nothing but his holster and trusty revolver. At long last, Allison did settle down. In 1881 he married America Medora "Dora" McCulloch. The couple continued traveling around the Midwest, looking for their ideal ranch home while Dora gave birth to three children. Meanwhile, Allison continued working for cattle outfits here and there, and once attacked a dentist in Cheyenne, Wyoming for trying to pull the wrong tooth. Even as his wicked reputation followed him, however, Allison remained stalwart.
"I have at all times tried to use my influence toward protecting the property holders and substantial men of the country from thieves, outlaws and murderers," he once said, "among whom I do not care to be classed." The Allison’s eventually settled on a ranch near the Pecos River. On a summer day in 1887, Allison dove to catch a sack of grain falling from his wagon. He fell, and died after a wagon wheel rolled over his neck. It was an ordinary pioneer death for a most extraordinary man. He was buried the next day, but was re-interred da in Pecos in 1975 where he remains today

The Streets of Trinidad Colorado’s
Old West Shootout by Linda Wommack
Trinidad has a rich history,
molded by the Native Americans who called the area their home. From the Spaniards early exploration of the land, to the scouts, trappers and traders who passed through this southern crossroad, all left their mark on the early history of this historic town. So too, did the gamblers, rogues and outlaws who came through the many saloons and gambling joints on Main Street. The laws in those early days were either loose or lost, until Bat Masterson along with his kid brother, James, served as marshal and deputy marshal, in the spring of 1881. A year later, following the shoot-out at the O.K. Corral in Tombstone, Arizona, Wyatt Earp joined his old friend Masterson, to Trinidad to cool his heels. Even Billy the Kid spent time near Trinidad. Sister Blandina, the pioneer Catholic nun who single-handedly started the first Catholic school in Trinidad, nursed the bandit back to health from a gunshot wound. Into this mix of early history, is the little known gunfight of 1882. Unlike the gunfights on the streets of the Old West, portrayed in the western movies, this gunfight was a blunder from the start and ended in tragedy. This is how it really happened. Frank Loving, also known as "Cockeyed" Frank Loving, for reasons unknown, gained a reputation as a gunfighter following a shootout in Dodge City, Kansas, in 1879. A professional gambler, Loving arrived in the wild town of Dodge City, Kansas, earlier in the decade, where he became a frequent customer at the famed Long Branch Saloon. Here, he gained his associations with other well known gamblers, gunmen and lawmen of the era, including Doc Holliday, Bat Masterson, Wyatt Earp, and a fellow named John Allen who would figure prominently in our tale of Trinidad. On a rowdy Saturday night at the Long Branch Saloon, (April 5, 1879) Loving finally got his chance to confront Levi Richardson, his arch enemy over a recent love triangle. Following a volatile exchange of heated words, the two exchanged gunfire, with Richardson firing first. His shot missed and Loving’s return shot misfired. Richardson fired the remaining rounds of his .44 toward Loving, but missed again. Loving regained his composure, aimed and fired at his opponent, who slumped against the stove and died. Following an inquest, where witnesses testified to the self defense plea, Loving was freed from any charges and left Dodge City for good. Wandering the West for a few years, Loving moved on to Trinidad, Colorado, in early 1882. Here he met up with old friends from Dodge City. Friends, Bat Masterson, and Doc Holliday, who came to town from time to time while working with the Santa Fe Railroad during the Royal Gorge Rail War, and Bat’s brother James, who was the deputy marshal of Trinidad, greeted Loving warmly. Wyatt Earp was there, running a stage to Raton Pass. Not so friendly was John Allen, an old gambling acquaintance, also from Dodge City. Allen worked at the popular Imperial Saloon, where Loving conducted his gambling pursuits. The contentious relationship evolved over a period of months, surrounded by arguments over card games to accusations of certain house loan arrangements. The argument escalated to violence on April 15, 1882, on Trinidad’s Main Street. The two men encountered each other and drew their revolvers, but friends intervened, saving the fight for another day. The next evening, Allen, with gun at the ready, waited for Loving to enter the saloon. He didn’t have long to wait, and when Loving entered, Allen spulled his gun. His first shot missed, while Loving’s gun ... Trinidad Saloon - 58 - 58 N

...was knocked out of his hand by the scramble of customers. Allen shot again, and Loving ducked, retrieved his Colt .45, and fired at Allen, who ran for the rear door. Loving followed Allen, firing his rounds as Allen fled. Trinidad’s Deputy Marshal, James Masterson, responded to the shots, finding Loving, Masterson left to find Allen. Failing in this quest, Masterson returned to the saloon, only to find that Loving had rearmed with two revolvers. Again, Masterson disarmed him, and continued his search for Allen. During this cat and mouse search, Allen had been hiding out in the Catholic Convent of Sister Blandina, located down the street. Meanwhile, Loving left the saloon and walked over to George Hammond's hardware store, to obtain yet another gun and ammunition. What he didn’t know was that Allen was following him. Suddenly, Masterson heard a gunshot from the hardware store and ran to investigate. Loving stumbled near the door Masterson had thrown open. Frank Loving looked up at his old friend and said, “Jim, I’m shot.” Three officers, led by Lou Kreeger, quickly arrived and arrested John Allen who had fled to the rear of the store. Meanwhile, Loving, with a bullet in his back, was taken to the home of a local doctor, where he was treated and made comfortable, as it was determined the bullet could not be removed. Frank Loving died five days later, he was 28 years old. It became known in outlaw history as the Trinidad Gunfight. Six months later, John Allen went on trial for murder, but was found not guilty. He left Trinidad for good, returning to the town where it all began, Dodge City, Kansas. Things did change for Allen, however. Perhaps seeing the error of his ways, he became a preacher as well as a traveling evangelist. T h i n g s changed in Trinidad as well. Bat and James Masterson hung around long enough to bring in real law enforcement that, in time, made Trinidad a fine city. Returning to Dodge City, the Masterson brothers continued in the profession, with James becoming sheriff in nearby Gray County. He later took part in the Oklahoma land rush and settled in Guthrie, while brother Bat began a new career in New York as a sportswriter. sportswrite

Goodnight Loving Trail
150th Anniversary part 3 by
Bob Silva
The Goodnight Loving Trail Distance wise the Goodnight Loving Trail was far from being short by any means of the imagination. Hundreds upon hundreds of miles would be spent in the saddle and on dusty trails. On June 6th, 1866 Goodnight and Loving brought their cattle herds together and headed west with 2000 head of cattle. Eighteen men made up the drovers and included other legendary men such as: Robert Clay Allison, Bose Ikard, and “One Arm” Bill Wilson. Before leaving on this cattle drive Goodnight purchased a surplus Army wagon that he created in Parker County to be the first “Chuck wagon”. This new trail would one day carry the legendary name of, “The Goodnight Loving Trail.” The Goodnight Loving Trail” started in western Texas in the area of Young and Parker County near Palo Pinto, Weatherford, and Ft. Belknap, Texas. The trail would follow the old Butterfield Overland Mail route toward San Angelo and Fort Concho (approx. 200 miles). This was the easy part of the trail, but things would soon become more difficult – water difficult that is. As the drive approached the Middle Concho River, the cattle were rested and given plenty of time to get their fill of water. The next 80 miles would be the most difficult as for the three days across the Llano Estacado would see no water for man or beast. During the three days and two nights, some cattle died on the trail due to exhaustion or dehydration. In approaching the Pecos River, the cattle caught the smell of water and stampeded to the river. Some cattle drowned in the river, while others died from the alkaline pools in the surrounding area. Looking back, Goodnight called, Horsehead Crossing on the Pecos, “the graveyard of the cowman’s hopes.” Once reaching the Pecos River the river would be followed north until reaching Fort Sumner, New Mexico (approx. 300 miles). Fort Sumner was an Indian Reservation for Navajo and Mescalero’s (approximately 8,000 to 9,000 Native American Indians) and the United States (US) Government could not provide enough food for the population (see, The Long Walk to Bosque Redondo). The US Government more than welcomed the trail drive, and paid a premium for all the steers. Goodnight and Loving sold their steers for $12,000 in gold. The remaining cattle that amounted to cows and calves were trailed to Denver, Colorado. Loving trailed the remaining herd north through Las Vegas crossing Raton Pass to Trinidad, and onto Denve Denver, Colorado. Goodnight returned to Texas from Fort Sumner where he rounded up another twelve hundred steers. On September 25, 1867, Loving died at Fort Sumner from an Indian attack where he had taken a bullet to an arm and side. Comanches, this time, had attacked Loving and “One-Armed” Bill Wilson as they had traveled ahead of Goodnight and the rest of the cattle drovers. Loving lived for 22 days after being shot, but then gangrene set in and this ended his life. Loving was returned to Weatherford, Texas where he was buried. In 1868, another herd of cattle were moved north, but this time the trail was altered in order to avoid paying a toll to Richens Lacy Wootton or “Uncle Dick” Wootton. The trail leaving Fort Sumner would branch northeast and would cross the Capulin Mountain (approximately 40 miles east of Raton, NM) crossing the Trinchera Pass before heading north to Denver or Wyoming. In 1868, Goodnight built a trail camp some 40 miles NE of Trinidad on the Apishapa. In 1870, Goodnight built a ranch in Rock Canyon of the Arkansas in Pueblo, Colorado. Goodnight would remain in Pueblo until 1876 when he started drifting cattle east across the Llano Estacado of Texas, and by May 1877 had settled in Palo Duro, Texas. Texas Cattle Trails (1866 – 1884) - The Goodnight Loving Trail was only one of four other well-known trails that moved thousands of heads of cattle and horses from Texas, but many other trails existed. After the Civil War, the Texas cattle drives thrived from the 1860s to the 1890s; an estimated ten million cattle went up the trails. The Eastern Trail (1846-1889) – The Eastern Trail refers to the Texas side of the Shawnee and Chisholm Trail. The Eastern Trail ran from South Texas to the Red River. An estimated 5 million cattle and 500,000 horses went up the Eastern Trail. Shawnee Trail (1846-1866) – The eastern most cattle trail, as it spanned north from the eastern trail on the north side of the Red River to the rail yards of the Missouri. One of the oldest trails that drovers used; this route was used just before and after the Civil War. An estimated 250,000 cattle went up the Shawnee Trail. Goodnight Loving Trail (1866-1890) the gateway to the west. The Goodnight Loving Trail paved the way to new markets in New Mexico, Colorado and Wyoming. Following the Butterfield Overland Mail route, the Goodnight Loving trail skirted the dangerous Indian territory of the Texas panhandle and led drovers into New Mexico. An estimated 1 million head of cattle went up the Goodnight Loving Trail. Chisholm Trail (1867-1889) – Also known as the Abilene Trail. The heaviest travelled trail; the Chisholm provided the most direct route to the northern markets and railheads. With a relatively flat path from the end of the Eastern Trail at Red River up into Kansas, drovers experienced fewer hazards on this trail. An estimated 5 million head of cattle, and 500,000 horses went up the Chisholm Trail. Western Trail (1874-1894) – Also known as the Dodge-City Trail, this was the last major active trail out of Texas. It provided a route from South Texas (around San Antonio) to as far north as Montana and the Dakota Territories. Barbed wire and Texas fever contributed to the end of this trail. An estimated 6 million head of cattle, and 500,000 horses went up the Western Trail.

Colfax County RATON
Nina Strong: Harvey Girl Still Going Strong in Raton story and photos by Sharon Niederman
Ratonian Nina Strong shows what aging gracefully is all about.
At 95, the tall, silver-haired Nina still turns heads when she strides into the Raton Post Office wearing her stylish red leather jacket. Her home on the north side of town is surrounded by a manicured green lawn; and inside, the living room is neat as a pin. It’s hard to believe she does all her own housework, shopping, cooking and driving; but when Nina tells you something, you can count on hearing the truth. Born in 1922 in Flomot, Texas, she went on to become one of the celebrated Harvey Girls at the Castaneda Hotel in Las Vegas, NM. “We weren’t just waitresses,” she says. “We were Harvey Girls!” Immaculately attired in aprons and long skirts known for efficiently serving train passengers a full, delicious meal on white linen in just thirty minutes. Ironically, Harvey Girls got their start in Raton. Due to brawls at the local Harvey House, a decision was made to hire women. Harvey Girls “had to be recommended and have a good reputation.” The Fred Harvey Company served excellent meals at hotels and lunchrooms all along the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway line. Built in 1898, the Mission Revival Castaneda was considered the finest, a sibling to the Alvarado Hotel in Albuquerque. Currently under renovation by preservationist-hotelier Allan Affeldt, the Castaneda sat abandoned beside the railroad tracks for decades. Affeldt and his wife, Tina Mion, are best known for their successful renovation of another Fred Harvey hotel, La Posada in Winslow, AZ. From Dust Bowl Girl to Harvey Girl Growing up poor during the Dust Bowl, finding a way out was not easy. When she was seven years old, Nina’s family moved to Solano, NM, where they lived on a rented farm at La Centa Canyon. She remembers very well what life was like. “The dust was so thick, and houses being what they were, it came in around doors and windows. I don’t know how we managed to stay healthy, but we did. I sure remember Black Sunday. That was April 14, 1935. It came roaring in like the world was coming to an end. We covered the windows with sheets. Fence posts were covered with sand,” she recalls. The family survived those times with canning, garden produce, chickens, eggs, and beans. “You make as many beans as you can. If you had a cow that had a calf, you had milk. That was not just us,” she says. “That was everyone. My mother did a very good job. She said, “We are not poor. We just don’t have any money.” Of course, everyone worked, even the kids as soon as they got big enough. They cleaned houses, ironed and babysat. And after the family moved to Roy, when Nina was a sophomore, she got a job at the newspaper, the Roy Record, run by Carl Guthman, making $3 a week. “It was independence,” she says. “I could buy a candy bar, go to the show, or buy a piece of material to make a dress. It was wonderful!” As a good student, Nina had the opportunity to attend New Mexico Highlands University in Las Vegas. She was also recommended to the Castaneda. As a full-time student, she attended classes during the day and worked from 10 pm to 6 am as a Harvey Girl. The room mother tried to see that she got as much sleep as she could. During 1941-42, she lived at the hotel and received room and board and $30 a month. Life changed after Dec. 7, 1941. As troops were transported up and down the railroad, they often stopped for a meal at the Castaneda. “We were ready for them,” Nina says. “They only had 30 minutes to eat.” Having been on her own for seven years following the loss of her second husband, Merlyn, whom she married in 1992, Nina gets out three or four times a week for ladies lunches, meetings, and errands. “There’s plenty to do,” she says. While she is not the last of the Harvey Girls, she is the only one left from the Castaneda. “I’ve outlived everybody,” she says.

Temple Aaron
story and photos by Sharon Niederman
Set on a steep hill on a shady side street in Trinidad, Colorado
stands an imposing reminder of the endurance of the Jewish community in northern New Mexico and southern Colorado .Temple Aaron, two stories of red brick and pink sandstone, punctuated with Tiffany-style stained-glass windows of yellow, red and blue, capped with a crimson onion dome, until recently, has been the site of High Holiday services every year since it was built in 1889. It retains the honor of being the oldest synagogue in Colorado located on its original site, at 407 So. Maple St. In New Mexico, it is pre-dated by Temple Montefiore in Las Vegas, built in 1877. The hybrid Victorian-Moorish building, designed by influential Trinidad-based architect Isaac Hamilton Rapp, who also designed many of Trinidad’s most important buildings, and who went on to pioneer de “Santa Fe Style,” with the iconic New Mexico Art Museum on Santa Fe Plaza, is a proud reminder of the tenacity of Jewish roots in the West. In 1872, this fledgling Jewish community celebrated its first Rosh Hashana in a Trinidad shop. German Jewish merchants settled in this coal-mining center on the Santa Fe Trail, then one of Colorado’s most prosperous cities. Congregants traveled across Raton Pass from Elizabethtown, the gold-mining boomtown near Eagle Nest, NM. Eventually, New Mexico pioneer families including the Herzsteins of Clayton, the Floersheims, the Rosenwalds of Las Vegas and the Gusdorfs of Taos would participate in and support Temple Aaron. Often they traveled great distances by wagon to attend services. In 1879, 29 men formed the B’nai Brith Lodge in Trinidad. Then, on July 23, 1883, at the home of Sam Jaffa, who would become Trinidad’s first mayor and build the Jaffa Opera House, 17 men formed the Israelites of Trinidad and decided to name their Reform house of worship Congregation Aaron, in honor of the Jaffa brothers’ father. The Ladies Auxiliary, also founded in 1889, got busy with dinners and bake sales to help raise the $12,500 needed to pay for the building before construction began. A pipe organ arrived by wagon, to be electrified decades later. The crimson-carpeted interior and gold-stained pine woodwork of the second-story sanctuary long inspired awe. Schoolrooms, a kitchen and a spacious social hall are located on the first floor. The continuity of Temple Aaron is due largely to the dedication of the Rubin family of Raton, NM. Their third-generation, almost century-old, 17 miles south on Raton Pass, now closed, was founded by Barney Rubin. As family legend goes, Barney arrived in New York from Minsk, Russia in 1916, “with only a gold piece and his patent-leather boots,” then made his way to Pueblo, CO sweeping Pullman cars. Like many of his generation, he became a peddler with a team of horses before founding his Raton store. His daughter-in-law, Kathryn, with her husband, Leon, and family, worked with enthusiasm to insure that the lights of Temple Aaron continued to shine for many years. “I’m just a newcomer,” she insisted. “I only arrived in 1946.”Kathryn, who now lives in Colorado Springs, was for decades the “keeper of the keys” to the synagogue, the caretaker or “shamus,” a role she inherited in 1987 with the passing of Beatrice Sanders, who, for 34 years served as the community’s lay rabbi.“ Thanks to an endowment created by the sons of Rabbi Leopold Freudenthal, who officiated from 1889 until his death in 1916, the Temple kept going. That endownment is about played out, and the deteriorating roof and heating system 1916 have prevented the Temple from continuing to serve the community. Consequently, the Temple is now for sale, while efforts between a coalition of city and state preservation agencies to find a way to save the building as a legacy to Trinidad.

Tom and Linda Perry
Sangre de Cristo’s Power Couple When Tom and Linda Perry hosted the first Trinidad Water Festival in 2012,
they couldn’t predict the impact it would have on our community. The annual festival, funded by the Culebra Range Community Coalition, the Purgatoire Valley Foundation, as well as many community supporters, targets expanding stewardship, conservation and environmental education initiatives developed at the Bar NI Ranch to conserve and protect the Purgatoire River Watershed. Tom and Linda Perry, after retiring from managing the Bar NI Ranch, currently direct the Bar NI Ranch Community Fund, the Culebra Range Community Coalition and the Purgatoire Valley Foundation. Trinidad State Junior College also plays a critical role in both hosting and supporting the Water Festival, which draws 1500 to 2000 students, teachers, presenters and volunteers to take part in over 50 presentations that teach the critical importance of water and how it impacts nearly every area of our daily lives. Linda Perry, previously the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) Outreach Assistant at the college, said organizers and presenters embrace the philosophy that students learn through experiential settings. “There’s a group learning dynamic going on here. It’s exciting to see 15 regional schools in an environmental setting, learning “There new things while meeting experts both locally and from all over Colorado.” Tom Perry explains that being around the festival’s participants justifies their true labor of love. It is virtually a full time job organizing and securing funding for the annual event. During this same time they also raise funds and coordinate donations to grant over twenty thousand dollars annually in environmentally related college scholarships for regional students through the Culebra Range Scholarship Program each year. A graduate from St. Thomas University, St. Paul, Minnesota, Tom’s double major in Business Administration and Psychology, complements his 20-year career in fashion merchandising. Later, he became vice president of merchandising for a chain of clothing stores, and then owned and operated three clothing stores. His second fifteen-year career harnessed him in ranch management, in particular, the Bar NI Ranch in Stonewall, Co doing environmental protection and restoration. Perry believes in collaborative partnerships, which include The Nature Conservancy (TNC), Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, Colorado Watershed Association, Colorado Division of Wildlife, Natural Resource Conservation Service, U.S. Forest Colorad Service and Colorado Forest Service. These agencies excel at developing land and management practices to ensure environmental health. Their major accomplishment was to reduce catastrophic wildfire risk and re-introduce low intensity prescribed fire to manage the forest. Tom worked on these issues with the TNC Fire Learning Network and the Governor’s Council for Front Range Forestry. With assistance from the Cabot family, Tom started the Culebra Range Community Coalition and initiated Forest Health Workshops presented at the Bar NI Ranch, Primero School, Santa Fe Trail Ranch HOA, and Trinidad State Junior College. A Colorado native, Linda grew up just outside the small town of Hotchkiss, CO. Her father initiated her appreciation of the great outdoors, while they enjoyed a rural life-style. She graduated from the University of Colorado-Boulder with a Bachelors of Science in Commercial Recreation. Following a number of years working at Peaceful Valley Lodge and Guest Ranch near Lyons, Colorado, she and Tom began their next career at the Bar NI Ranch in Stonewall, Colorado. For close to fifteen years Tom and Linda managed the ranch and its lodge focusing their time on environmental land and wildlife stewardship, livestock management, as well as daily guest services for the ranch owners and their personal and corporate guests. Many environmentally management focused collaborative initiatives were accomplished, and heartfelt relationships formed with the Cabot family. Tom likes to quote philosopher and poet Lao Tzu who wrote, “We protect what we love, we love what we understand, and we understand what we learn or experience.” Tom Perry adds, “What we don’t understand or love, we tend to ignore or disregard.” Leaving the question, “Where are we going to find our future land and community stewards?” Our regional “power couple”, to coin an energized portmanteau, Tom and Linda Perry generously dedicate their time and talents to preserve and share our excellent water, air and land quality in this Sangre de Cristo region. We honor both Tom and Linda’s commitment and dedication dedicatio to our youth and our community. Fostering conservation, networking and expanding capabilities for all who come into their realm, they go above and beyond their career duties, modeling positive work relationships and professional development efforts. New Legends Magazine praise and recognize our legendary couple: Tom and Linda Perry. Thankful for their honesty, integrity and impeccable work ethic, we will continue to tell more of their story in our Spring, 2018 issue.

Huerfano County WALSENEBURG - GARDNER
GARDNER, COLORADO
is located in the Huerfano River Valley just a comfortable drive west of Walsenburg on State Highway 69. Gardner sits on a age old path used over hundreds of years. Originally it was traveled by the Apache, Comanche and Ute hunting parties. Then came Spanish explorers followed by French trappers. Mountain men like Zebulon Pike (Pike’s Peak) came to hunt and trap. Settlers arrived in the late 1850’s as Gardner became a stage coach stop. Settlers of a different sort arrived in the 1960’s, the hippies. Large communes were founded in the serene valley. To this day the counter culture lifestyle is celebrated annually. Gardner Butte

My long, lovely, lingering fall is over and now the darker days of winter are here. I so love the fall. It is the most gorgeous weather. The hillsides are wrapped in my favorite colors. Fall carrots are the crispest and sweetest of the whole year (except maybe for the first spring carrots, or the crunchy midsummer carrots.) The best holidays—ahem, my birthday—plus a day to remember to give thanks, and then the over-commercialized holiday that has the beautiful the message of peace on earth, good will to men have come and gone. Crisp carrots, glazed carrots, carrot sticks, carrot cake….oh what a fine season it has been. Now here we are to the long, dark days of winter. I kinda’ think it is ugh, but it has its advantages. Everything slows down. More naps in front of the fire; I have the time to pursue my literary career; a mid-winter day to celebrate love. How could those be bad things? I was asked by my editor to work on an “advice to the lovelorn column”. My goodness, this was far more difficult that I ever imagined. First, I don’t even like the word “Lovelorn”… Lovelorn: [ˈləvˌlôrn] ADJECTIVE: unhappy because of unrequited love. I don’t do unhappy. A piggy Pollyanna, I am. I invented a new word: Loveworn: [ˈləvˌwôrn] ADJECTIVE: happy because of an excess of love. Better, huh? But who is going to need advice? Dear Lil’ Smokey: You will understand. You are a pig. That is a compliment. What is a gorgeous, curvaceous, vivacious girly pig to do when despite holding all the positive attributes out front, is still ignored by her boyfriend? I have so much to offer! What should I do? Signed: Ms. Piggy My dear, beautiful Ms. Piggy: It makes me drool more than carrot pudding just to think of you… (oh, oh I could lose my job over those kinds of comments!), but back to you. Are you sure he is ignoring you? Or possibly could you be so blinded by your own light that you are not seeing his attempts at appreciation? What is it you really want? Just reassurance that you are gorgeous, talented, curvaceous? Or do you want someone who still thinks you are beautiful when you take someon your false eyelashes off? Even If he doesn’t shower you with 14 carrot rings (mmm…mmm…mmm), is he kind to you? And are you kind to him? If he were to be green and have long legs, would you still think he is beautiful. Kindness and appreciation are a two-way street…if you are going down the avenue with an arrow (cupid’s or otherwise) just pointing in one direction, you will never be happy. on Wishing you every happiness, with whomever and particularly with yourself. Your Friend,

Lil’ Smokey
Huerfano County LA VETA - CUCHARA
Dear Lil’ Smokey: I think perhaps you will help me to understand. You are a pig; I am not. I am some one that is green with long legs that is hopelessly enamored with this gorgeous, curvaceous, vivacious female that happens to be a pig. A selfish, self-centered, diva pig, but oh, how I love her. She makes my skin clammy just thinking about her…hmmm, I think my skin is always clammy. Never mind. Whenever we spend time together, I never have mind to worry about a sunburn, as I am always standing in her shadow. She is the life of the party, and I am, well, I am green. Nothing I ever do seems to measure up. Of course, she always points out when I sing a love song it sounds like I am croaking; what else am I supposed to do? Croaking is what I do best. Lil’ Smokey, please help me understand this relationship. Signed: Kermit My Dear Kermit: I am not sure there is much to understand. I always suggest professional counseling, but that would just be a cop-out (a pig-out?) cuz I don’t want the responsibility of just saying find someone who appreciates you for who you are! You must make that decision. It would appear to me that her star needs to shine over some other swamp. Best of luck….and remember the words from a book about a wise little bear named Winnie the Pooh… littl Your friend, Lil’ Smokey And on this Valentine’s Day, I wish that everyone can be “Loveworn”!

WESTON, COLORADO
Weston, the site of open gambling in the late 1800's, boasted five saloons, several general stores and a jail that was often full. Initially, the Jicarilla Apaches regularly attacked the town site, however, on August 25, 1888, the Maxwell Land Grant Company tried to seize Weston and the Wet Canyon area to secure the lumber and confiscate the beautiful countryside. These days Weston is a quiet little village with action centered on the Weston Supply and the Post wit Office. The road directly north of the Weston Supply leads into Wet Canyon and, about 17 miles in, crosses the ridge into Jarosa Canyon and heads east, going through Gulnare and Aguilar to the I-25. On the east side of town, you’ll find the entrance to Bosque del Oso State Wildlife Area, 30,000 acres of prime elk habitat.
This small and picturesque village, about 15 miles west of Trinidad on Highway 12, was once called Old Segundo or Los Varros. It was one of several plazas that sprang up along the Purgatoire River in the 1860's. Later in the 1900s, the Colorado & Wyoming Railway reached Segundo building a five-stall roundhouse and operating headquarters. Numerous coalmines operated by the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company brought many European and Middle Eastern settlers into the area. Segundo had one largest Middl coal processing plant west of Chicago with 800 coking ovens. Be sure to stop in at Ringo’s Super Trading Post! 68 New legends magazine -68 - N Tim Keller Photography

Colfax County RATON
NEW LEGENDS MAGAZINE newlegendsmag.com
RATON, NEW MEXICO Raton was founded at the site of Willow Springs, a stop on the Santa Fe Trail. The original 320 acres for the Raton town site were purchased from the Maxwell Land Grant in 1880. In 1879, the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway bought Uncle Dick Wooten’s toll road and established a busy rail line. Raton quickly developed as a railroad, mining and ranching center for the northeast part of the New Mexico territory, as well as the county seat and principal trading center of the area. Located at the sea southern end of Raton Pass, the city of Raton illuminates a central point along the Santa Fe Trail. Located amidst the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, the rugged mountain p a s s w a s t r a v e r s e d b y N a t i v e A m e r i c a n s , Spanish and French explorers and traders traveling between Denver, Colorado and Santa Fe, New Mexico. First blazed by Captain William Becknell in 1821, the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway followed the Santa Fe Route in 1903. Here in Raton, the historic Santa Fe Depot stands as a monument to the city's Spanish heritage. Currently an Amtrak stop, the depot still sees Spanis rail traffic twice a day. Now designated a Registered Historic District, Raton's downtown covers about 200 acres and contains 95 significant buildings.

Colfax County CIMARRON - PHILMONT
NEW LEGENDS MAGAZINE newlegendsmag.com
CIMARRON, NEW MEXICO “Established in 1857, the village of Cimarron, New Mexico is the Historic Heart of the West. Intriguing and diverse, its history reaches back to the Santa Fe Trail. Cimarron is also home to Philmont Scout Ranch along with the Old Mill Museum, the historic St. James Hotel and other area attractions. Once the home of Anasazi, Jicarilla Apache, and Onc Ute Indians, Cimarron, located on the Mountain Branch of the Santa Fe Trail, became the hub of a vast mining and ranching empire in the mid to late 19th century. The pioneer spirit, which gave rise to Cimarron, brought the famous and infamous alike. Western legends such as Kit Carson, Black Jack Ketchum, Charles Kennedy, Clay Allison, and Will Ketchum James have contributed to the area’s rich history. In Spanish, Cimarron means “wild and unruly,” harking back to the historical turbulence of this now peaceful community. The area was once part of the controversial Maxwell Land Grant, which eventually caused the Colfax County War in the late 1800s. In addition to Cimarron’s rich Native American heritage, Spanish settlers, homesteaders, trappers, traders, and many other colorful characters made traders this beautiful area their home.

FOLSOM, NEW MEXICO
Legends die-hard. They survive as truth rarely does. Entering the town of Des Moines, many unusual tales survive along US Highway 87: The Mandala Retreat Center, Baca Valley Telephone and Sierra Communications, and pencil artist Dino Cornay’s exhibit at the Sierra Din Grande Restaurant.
Folsom has an incredibly rich history preserved in the buildings, people, and the Folsom Museum. Originally, a town named Madison was established where the Granada to Fort Union Military Route crossed the Dry Cimarron River. When the railroad track Cimarro was laid through the area, it bypassed Madison. The townspeople threw together a tent city where the tracks met the river -- it was called Rag Town because of all the canvas structures. Some time later the bride-elect of President Grover Cleveland, Francis Folsom, stepped off the train to explore the Folsom little town during a whistle stop. The townspeople were smitten by her charms and chose her maiden name with which to christen the little village by the river.
