Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: James F. Meline journeyed across the Santa Fe Trail. His trip began at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, along the Platte through Nebraska Territory to Denver, then South through Pueblo, and Trinidad, Colorado, entering New Mexico at the Raton Pass. He traveled to Fort Union, Mora, Las Vegas, and Santa Fe. He spent three weeks in the Santa Fe and Albuquerque area. Meline attempted to ride 33 miles each day and then in the evenings and days off compiled his notes and his writings. He returned to the East by the Santa Fe Trail "short cut," or the Cimarron Route. His journey and description of New Mexico of 1866 is one of the most accurate accounts of a century ago. He described the manners and customs of New Mexico--plows, cars, yokes, mines, pueblo dialects, legends, costumes. He met many of the people, including Kit Carson. At Mora he attended a baile and described in detail the dance of the natives of 1866

Excerpt: ...that this was equivalent to seven dollars a cord. I made a point to visit the markets, to see how the people live. Let us reduce the word at once to the singular number. Formerly, the rancheros and Pueblos brought in their market wares to the Plaza, and all the early American descriptions gave us pictures of them standing patiently wrapped in their serapes, smoking their cigaritos, mingled up with their wares and burros. It was all very picturesque, but very dirty. The Plaza had been, time out of mind, the market, and it was predicted, while the new market-house was going up, that the people would never be got into it. Well, the market-house was hardly completed when there was a stampede for it which astonished the knowing ones. The secret was that.there was a scramble for the best places. It is open every day. But a small portion of the provisions used is sold in it, the greater part being ordered and brought directly to the houses. More than one half the butter used here comes from the land whence, in New Mexico, every thing good is believed to come, namely, " The States." Here is the Santa F6 price current: Butter, one dollar per pound; beef and mutton, ten cents; kid (entire), seventy-five cents to one dollar; eggs, seventy-five cents to one dollar per dozen; milk, twenty cents per quart; goat's milk, five cents; flour, per hundred weight, fifteen to eighteen dollars--(probably be lower with new crop); salt, one dollar per bushel. The Pueblo Indians bring in fruit, trout, and game from the mountains, and, also, nearly the sole industrial productions of the country, --jars, dishes, and cups of pottery, some of it painted so as to impart an almost Etruscan or Egyptian air. Of apples there are scarcely any. Apricots are...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Old West was populated by a host of colourful characters including gunfighters, cowboys, buffalo hunters, sod busters, and at least one cavalry officer with the eye of an eagle and a penchant for fine writing. Colonel James Meline was an educated New York journalist, turned pony soldier, who had fought for the Union during the recent Civil War. With the country lulled into an uncomfortable peace, the fifty-four year old Meline decided to partake of one last mounted adventure before he hung up his spurs. Lucky for the history of equestrian travel that he did. The resultant book, Two Thousand Miles on Horseback is a beautifully written, eye witness account of a United States that is no more. Meline was no fool. He sensed that the great American wilderness was about to be tamed. Setting out from Fort Leavenworth in the summer of 1866, Meline observed a nation on the move. In his first week in the saddle Meline counted 680 wagons heading west. Moreover, he warned, the iron rail will soon clamp East and West, leaving no room for adventure or personal freedom. Yet before that dire prediction became a reality, Meline participated in one of the greatest equestrian adventures of the time. He noted everything from the price of pistols to the practices of Pawnees. Border land barbarities too hideous to write in English, horses struck dead by lightning, forlorn graves, summer days so hot they drove men mad Meline faithfully recorded the details of prairie life seen during his ride to Santa Fe. Once he reached fabled New Mexico the saddle-borne scribe fell in with Kit Carson. What followed was a three day marathon interview wherein the legendary frontiersman regaled the cavalry journalist with tales of fighting the Navajo, hunting gigantic grizzly bears, and eluding capture by Indians. Then, with his notebooks full, Meline headed home, experiencing a storm on the way that was so cold that even my memory froze. Though the frontier they inhabited is a thing of the past, Meline and his cast of mounted characters still jump off the pages and dare you to ride down the road of adventure with them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *Winner of the 2020 Will Rogers Medallion Award for Western Nonfiction* In the 1840s and 50s, the Jicarilla Apache were the terror of the Santa Fe Trail and the Rio Arriba. They repeatedly clashed with the cavalry and raided wagon trains, and there was bad blood between the band and the Army after the Battle of San Pasqual, when they were on opposite sides during the Mexican American War. In 1854, as traffic was on the increase along the historic trade route, the Jicarilla soundly defeated the 1st United States Dragoons in the Battle of Cieneguilla. Cieneguilla was the worst defeat of the US Army in the West up to that time, and it was just one of the first major battles between the US Army and Apache forces during the Ute Wars. According to one version of events, the 60 dragoons, under the direction of a Lt. Davidson, had engaged in an unauthorized attack on theJicarilla while they were out on patrol. Others claimed that the Jicarilla either ambushed the Army or taunted them into attack. Kit Carson, who was agent for the Jicarilla, would defend Davidson’s actions—and after this fight, he served as a scout against the Jicarilla. Much like the Sioux defeat of Custer at Little Big Horn, the Jicarilla’s victory over the Army led to retribution and disaster. The Jicarilla were defeated and faded from memory before the Civil War. These are the events that brought them to ruin.

Book excerpt: Through New Mexico’s Official Scenic Historic Markers we learn about the people, the geological features, and the historical events that have made the Land of Enchantment a place unlike any other. An index to our history, these markers tell an incredible story about our cultures and origins. This revised and expanded edition of Roadside New Mexico provides additional information about these sites and includes approximately one hundred new markers, sixty-five of which document the contribution of women to the history of New Mexico. Now structured alphabetically for easier identification, each essay also offers suggestions of similar Historic Markers to help readers explore each topic further. In addition, Pike includes entries on “Ghost Markers”—those sites missing from the road that still impart significant historical lessons. Roadside New Mexico delivers a useful companion for travelers who want to understand more about the landscapes and inhabitants of the state.

Download or read book They Called Him Wild Bill written by Joseph G. Rosa and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2012-11-28 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: His contemporaries called him Wild Bill, and newspapermen and others made him a legend in his own time. Among western characters only General George Armstrong Custer and Buffalo Bill Cody are as readily recognized by the general public. In writing this biography, Joseph G. Rosa has expressed the hope that "Hickok emerges as a man and not a legend." For this comprehensive revision of his earlier biography of Wild Bill the author was allowed to work from newly available materials in the possession of the Hickok family. He also discovered new material pertaining to Wild Bill’s Civil War exploits and his service as a marshal and found the pardon file of his murderer, John McCall. Additional, rare photographs of Wild Bill are published here for the first time. The results of Rosa’s additional research make this second edition the best biography of Wild Bill likely to be written for years to come.

Download or read book Coast-to-Coast Empire written by William S. Kiser and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2018-08-09 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following Zebulon Pike’s expeditions in the early nineteenth century, U.S. expansionists focused their gaze on the Southwest. Explorers, traders, settlers, boundary adjudicators, railway surveyors, and the U.S. Army crossed into and through New Mexico, transforming it into a battleground for competing influences determined to control the region. Previous histories have treated the Santa Fe trade, the American occupation under Colonel Stephen W. Kearny, the antebellum Indian Wars, debates over slavery, the Pacific Railway, and the Confederate invasion during the Civil War as separate events in New Mexico. In Coast-to-Coast Empire, William S. Kiser demonstrates instead that these developments were interconnected parts of a process by which the United States effected the political, economic, and ideological transformation of the region. New Mexico was an early proving ground for Manifest Destiny, the belief that U.S. possession of the entire North American continent was inevitable. Kiser shows that the federal government’s military commitment to the territory stemmed from its importance to U.S. expansion. Americans wanted California, but in order to retain possession of it and realize its full economic and geopolitical potential, they needed New Mexico as a connecting thoroughfare in their nation-building project. The use of armed force to realize this claim fundamentally altered New Mexico and the Southwest. Soldiers marched into the territory at the onset of the Mexican-American War and occupied it continuously through the 1890s, leaving an indelible imprint on the region’s social, cultural, political, judicial, and economic systems. By focusing on the activities of a standing army in a civilian setting, Kiser reshapes the history of the Southwest, underlining the role of the military not just in obtaining territory but in retaining it.
