Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mammals of New Mexico In 1841 William Gambel visited New Mexico, mainly for study of birds, but has left his name attached to mammals and plants also. In 1845 James William Abert explored northeastern New Mexico, and the following year with William Hemsley Emory traveled more extensively through the State, returning to Colorado on January 15, 1847. He did considerable collecting on this trip, and his name is commemorated by the beautiful tassel-eared Abert squirrel (sciums abertz' aberti Woodhouse). In 1846 Emory accom panied Brig. Gen. Stephen Watts Kearny on a military expedition through New Mexico to California, entering the State over Raton Pass, and journeying via Las Vegas and Santa Fe, down the Rio Grande Valley, over the Mimbres Mountains, and down the Gila River into Arizona.
