  • Best of WAGON TRACKS VOLUME 7 NOVEMBER 1992 NUMBER 1
    Best of WAGON TRACKS VOLUME 7 NOVEMBER 1992 NUMBER 1 THE DIARY OF PEDRO IGNACIO GALLEGO WHEREIN 400 SOLDIERS FOLLOWING THE TRAIL OF COMANCHES MET WILLIAM BECKNELL ON HIS FIRST TRIP TO SANTA FE by Michael L. Olsen and Harry C. Myers At the time this was written, Michael Olsen was professor of history at New Mexico Highlands University at Las Vegas, and Harry Myers was superintendent of Fort Union National Monument. Both are acknowledged scholars of the Santa Fe Trail and frequent contributors to WT. Their discovery and preparation of this significant document is a substantial contribution to Trail historiography. They presented more material about Captain Gallego, along with the story of the discovery of the diary, at the 1993 SFTA symposium. This is the first of two parts. Part Two of this article is on a separate PDF. For over a century historians have speculated about the circumstances surrounding William Becknell's jour- ney across the plains in 1821, including such issues as where he was heading and the route he followed into New Mexico. Almost exclusively they have relied on Becknell's own account of his trek. But other documentary evidence exists in the diary of Militia Urbana Captain Pedro Ignacio Gallego, who with his troops encountered Becknell's party near present Las Vegas, New Mexico, on November 13, 1821. This diary has lain untranslated and unappreciated in the Mexican Archives of New Mexico for over 1OO years. It challenges some previously held views of Becknell and his expedition. It is presented here with a short introductory narrative, annotation of its salient points, and commentary on the precise geographical information it provides.

  • The Grants Uranium District, New Mexico: Update on Source, Deposition, and Exploration 1
    The Grants Uranium District, New Mexico: Update on Source, Deposition, and Exploration 1 VIRGINIA T. M cLEMORE 2 1. Manuscript received September 2, 2010; Accepted November 28, 2010 2. NM Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources, New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, Socorro, NM, 87801; [email protected] ABSTRACT More than 340 million pounds (lbs) of U 3O8 have been produced from the Grants uranium deposits in New Mexico between 1948 and 2002, and at least 403 million lbs of U 3O8 remain as unmined resources. The Grants district is one of the largest uranium provinces in the world. The Grants district extends from east of Laguna to west of Gallup in the San Juan Basin of New Mexico. Three types of sandstone uranium deposits are recognized: tabular, redistributed (roll-front, fault- related), and remnant-primary. The tabular deposits formed during the Jurassic Westwater Canyon time. Subsequently, oxidizing solutions moved downdip, modifying tabular deposits into redistributed roll- front and fault-related deposits. Evidence, including age dates and geochemistry of the uranium deposits, suggests that redistributed deposits could have been formed shortly after deposition in the early Creta - ceous and from a second oxidation front during the mid-Tertiary. The source of uranium is important in understanding how the Grants deposits formed. Two possible sources exist: 1) the Zuni Mountains, which lie south of the district and consist of a Proterozoic granitic highland enriched in uranium with as much as 11 parts per million, and with high heat flow; and 2) vol - canic rocks erupted from a Jurassic arc volcanism, which formed southwest of the San Juan Basin, and deposited ash over much of the region.

  • The Story of Cluedo & Clue a “Contemporary” Game for Over 60 Years
    The story of Cluedo & Clue A “Contemporary” Game for over 60 Years by Bruce Whitehill The Metro, a free London newspaper, regularly carried a puzzle column called “Enigma.” In 2005, they ran this “What-game-am-I?” riddle: Here’s a game that’s lots of fun, Involving rope, a pipe, a gun, A spanner, knife and candlestick. Accuse a friend and make it stick. The answer was the name of a game that, considering the puzzle’s inclusion in a well- known newspaper, was still very much a part of British popular culture after more than 50 years: “Cluedo,” first published in 1949 in the UK. The game was also published under license to Parker Brothers in the United States the same year, 1949. There it is was known as: Clue What’s in a name? • Cluedo = Clue + Ludo" Ludo is a classic British game -- " a simplified Game of India • Ludo is not played in the U.S. " Instead, Americans play Parcheesi." But “Cluecheesi” doesn’t quite work." So we just stuck with “Clue” I grew up (in New York) playing Clue, and like most other Americans, considered it to be one of America’s classic games. Only decades later did I learn its origin was across the ocean, in Great Britain. Let me take you back to England, 1944. With the Blitz -- the bombing -- and the country emersed in a world war, the people were subject to many hardships, including blackouts and rationing. A forty-one-year-old factory worker in Birmingham was disheartened because the blackouts and the crimp on social activities in England meant he was unable to play his favorite parlor game, called “Murder.” “Murder” was a live-action party game where guests tried to uncover the person in the room who had been secretly assigned the role of murderer.

  • Archons (Commanders) [NOTICE: They Are NOT Anlien Parasites], and Then, in a Mirror Image of the Great Emanations of the Pleroma, Hundreds of Lesser Angels
    A R C H O N S HIDDEN RULERS THROUGH THE AGES A R C H O N S HIDDEN RULERS THROUGH THE AGES WATCH THIS IMPORTANT VIDEO UFOs, Aliens, and the Question of Contact MUST-SEE THE OCCULT REASON FOR PSYCHOPATHY Organic Portals: Aliens and Psychopaths KNOWLEDGE THROUGH GNOSIS Boris Mouravieff - GNOSIS IN THE BEGINNING ...1 The Gnostic core belief was a strong dualism: that the world of matter was deadening and inferior to a remote nonphysical home, to which an interior divine spark in most humans aspired to return after death. This led them to an absorption with the Jewish creation myths in Genesis, which they obsessively reinterpreted to formulate allegorical explanations of how humans ended up trapped in the world of matter. The basic Gnostic story, which varied in details from teacher to teacher, was this: In the beginning there was an unknowable, immaterial, and invisible God, sometimes called the Father of All and sometimes by other names. “He” was neither male nor female, and was composed of an implicitly finite amount of a living nonphysical substance. Surrounding this God was a great empty region called the Pleroma (the fullness). Beyond the Pleroma lay empty space. The God acted to fill the Pleroma through a series of emanations, a squeezing off of small portions of his/its nonphysical energetic divine material. In most accounts there are thirty emanations in fifteen complementary pairs, each getting slightly less of the divine material and therefore being slightly weaker. The emanations are called Aeons (eternities) and are mostly named personifications in Greek of abstract ideas.

  • Navajo Mysteries and Culture
    NAVAJO MYSTERIES AND CULTURE THE FOUR CORNERS WITH TONY HILLERMAN [email protected] Abstract Read the Jim Chee/Joe Leaphorn mystery novels of Tony Hillerman, augmented by the recent additions by his daughter Anne, and study the Indian myths and cultural concepts they embody. The land is sacred to the Navajo, as reflected in their religion, arts, and weaving. While enjoying Mr. Hillerman’s descriptions of southwestern landscapes and its people, review Navajo mythology with its beautiful descriptions of the cycle of life, the formation of the world, and the special reverence for land. Consider the relation of the Navajo to the Hopi and Pueblo peoples of the Anasazi migration. The course will provide an appreciation of Navajo concepts including “hozho,” going in beauty and harmony with nature, and its reversal of witchcraft (“skinwalkers”). It will delve into the basis of tribal sovereignty and existing treaties to better understand the politics of cultural preservation. The course will also consider current Navajo issues, including the control and exploitation of mineral and energy resources and their impact on the Navajo Nation. Mr. Hillerman generally weaves current issues of importance to Indian Country into his work. This is a two-semester course in which the student should expect to read about 7 first class mystery novels each semester.
