As homesteaders, hunters, miners and cattle ranchers flooded onto the Plains, they not only came into conflict with the Plains Indians who already lived there, but also with each other. This was a time of robberies, range wars and Indian wars in the wide open spaces of the West. Gradually, the forces of law and order caught up with the lawbreakers, while the US army defeated the Plains Indians.

  • Chapter 5: Vectors of Settlement
    Chapter 5: Vectors of Settlement By the time Mexican soldiers killed Victorio and his followers in the mountains of northern Mexico in October 1880, the Guadalupe Mountains and the trans-Pecos region had already acquired a new sedentary population. An increasing number of Anglo-American and Hispano settlers lived within the boundaries of the Mescalero homeland. To the west, the fertile Mesilla valley had long been a stronghold of Hispano livestock farmers, some of whom grazed animals in the various mountain ranges during the summers; later they explored opportunities to ranch or farm in the region. Finding land expensive and rare along the Rio Grande, still more sought to try their hand at ranching or farming outside the confines of the fertile valley. Others trickled south from Las Vegas, New Mexico, and the Mora area, initially trailing sheep and sometimes a few cows. Some settled along the rivers and streams that passed through the region. Few in the trans-Pecos expected to find wealth in agriculture; only the most savvy, creative, and entrepreneurial stood a chance at achieving such a goal even in the lucrative industry of ranching during its military-supported heyday in the 1860s and 1870s. Other opportunities drew Anglo-Americans to the trans-Pecos. To the north of the Guadalupe Mountains, the two military forts — Stanton and Sumner — became magnets for people who sought to provide the Army with the commodities it needed to feed, clothe, and shelter soldiers and to fill its obligations to reservation Indians. Competition for such contracts provided one of the many smouldering problems that played a part in initiating the Lincoln County War of 1878.

  • Billy the Kid Suite Aaron Copland (1900 - 1990)
    ASO Program Notes Billy the Kid Suite Aaron Copland (1900 - 1990) Aaron Copland was born in Brooklyn and grew up in his family’s apartment over their general store on Washington Avenue. He went to school in Brooklyn and was the only musician in his family. His first exposure to composition was in high school, where he took lessons in the basics. It was enough to fire his imagination, and when he graduated he chose to go to Paris to study, staying four years and mastering the art of sophisticated composition. He was always interested in folk tunes and how they could be presented in fresh ways. In the mid-1930s he visited Mexico and adapted many of the tunes he heard into El Salon Mexico. This was so well- received that he was encouraged to do the same with American folk tunes. The perfect opportunity came when prominent director Lincoln Kirstein commissioned a suite of music for a ballet based on the young outlaw Billy the Kid. The result was an amazing evocation of the old west in America, incorporating old cowboy tunes, as well as original music, into a brilliant mix. The suite of music that Copland pulled from the one-act ballet and adapted for orchestra was first performed in New York in 1941. “Street in a Frontier Town” is the most extensive section, where we first meet Billy as a boy of twelve. He and his mother encounter a street brawl which turns ugly, and Billy’s mother is killed. Billy quickly grabs a knife from a cowhand’s belt and stabs his mother’s attackers.

I had a good time in the big city, and was surprised by the number of high-powered presenters in attendance. The Symposium produced some interesting articles. I must admit that I struggled to find anything to say about “Bob Dylan and the Law.” I was a Dylan fan in the very early sixties when he was doing folk music;2 but I went into the Army at age twenty and did not return to “The World” until the early seventies, when I entered law school.
