There have been a few reports of over zealous ROs who are either doing the wrong things or have the wrong atti- tudes. Is there a problem, and if so, what should be done? 2) Pistol Caliber Cartridges in Long-range Rifle Competition. The Summit narrowly (56 to 50) approved deleting pistol caliber cartridges from the long-range rifle competition. Does this issue need to be readdressed? 3) Gamesmanship. One of the things that distinguishes Cowboy Action Shooting™ competitions from most other action shooting sports is role playing and "playing cowboys" as we did as kids.

Kecman wanted to juxtapose the new comet with the butte that was an astronomical observatory in the years 900 – 1200 AD. Fajada (banded) Butte is home to the ancestral Puebloan sun shrine popularly known as “The Sun Dagger” site. The butte is closed to visitors to protect its fragile cultural sites. The clear skies over the Southwest led to discovery of Hale-Bopp on July 22-23, 1995. Alan Hale saw the comet from his driveway in Cloudcroft, New Mexico, and Thomas Bopp saw the comet from the desert near Stanfield, Arizona at about the same time. Marko Kecman: 115 N.

  • Promise Beheld and the Limits of Place
    Promise Beheld and the Limits of Place A Historic Resource Study of Carlsbad Caverns and Guadalupe Mountains National Parks and the Surrounding Areas By Hal K. Rothman Daniel Holder, Research Associate National Park Service, Southwest Regional Office Series Number Acknowledgments This book would not be possible without the full cooperation of the men and women working for the National Park Service, starting with the superintendents of the two parks, Frank Deckert at Carlsbad Caverns National Park and Larry Henderson at Guadalupe Mountains National Park. One of the true joys of writing about the park system is meeting the professionals who interpret, protect and preserve the nation’s treasures. Just as important are the librarians, archivists and researchers who assisted us at libraries in several states. There are too many to mention individuals, so all we can say is thank you to all those people who guided us through the catalogs, pulled books and documents for us, and filed them back away after we left. One individual who deserves special mention is Jed Howard of Carlsbad, who provided local insight into the area’s national parks. Through his position with the Southeastern New Mexico Historical Society, he supplied many of the photographs in this book. We sincerely appreciate all of his help. And finally, this book is the product of many sacrifices on the part of our families. This book is dedicated to LauraLee and Lucille, who gave us the time to write it, and Talia, Brent, and Megan, who provide the reasons for writing. Hal Rothman Dan Holder September 1998 i Executive Summary Located on the great Permian Uplift, the Guadalupe Mountains and Carlsbad Caverns national parks area is rich in prehistory and history.

  • Allen Rostron, the Law and Order Theme in Political and Popular Culture

INTRODUCTION “Law and order” became a potent theme in American politics in the 1960s. With that simple phrase, politicians evoked a litany of troubles plaguing the country, from street crime to racial unrest, urban riots, and unruly student protests. Calling for law and order became a shorthand way of expressing contempt for everything that was wrong with the modern permissive society and calling for a return to the discipline and values of the past. The law and order rallying cry also signified intense opposition to the Supreme Court’s expansion of the constitutional rights of accused criminals. In the eyes of law and order conservatives, judges needed to stop coddling criminals and letting them go free on legal technicalities. In 1968, Richard Nixon made himself the law and order candidate and won the White House, and his administration continued to trumpet the law and order theme and blame weak-kneed liberals, The William R.

  • 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.

  • Cowboys and Lawyers
    COWBOYS AND LAWYERS $5,000 REWARD, DEAD OR ALIVE! appears in Done in the Open: Drawings by Frederick Remington (1902), which contained an introduction and “verses” by Owen Wister; it was included as one of the illustrations in a 1929 edition of Wister’s The Virginian. Kansas History: A Journal of the Central Plains 30 (Spring 2007): 52–63 52 Kansas History Ambivalence and Myth in the History and Literature of the Southern Plains by Robert A. Mead he personas of the cowboy and the gunslinger are central characters in both the American na- tional identity and the myth of the West. Throughout the twentieth century Hollywood and western print fi ction explored a number of key American themes, such as individualism and the morality of violence, through exploration of the real and imagined history of the Great Plains Tand the American West. So many western fi lms, television shows, and books have been cast in the ranches, cattle drives, and cattle towns of Kansas and the Southern Plains that names such as Bat Masterson, Charles Goodnight, and Wyatt Earp have been added to the American mythic pantheon. This element in the na- tional identity is ingrained quite deeply, to the point that President George W. Bush, in response to the ter- rorist attacks of September 11, 2001, invoked the imagery of the western myth by stating, “I want justice. And there’s an old poster out West, as I recall, that said, ‘Wanted: Dead or Alive.’”1 The myth of the West is interwoven with historical characters and situations.

Cool artesian springs bubble up from deep underground and ceaseless wind sculpts sand into ever-changing dunes. Above it all stretches a sky so big you can almost reach out and touch it. This is the legendary Wild West of classic books and movies, and the real-life landscape of the Texas Pecos Trail Region. The region’s 22 West Texas counties cover almost 35,000 square miles, an area larger than a dozen average-sized U.S. states. This big land comprises an ecological transition zone at the junction of the high and rolling plains in the north, Edwards Plateau in the east, mountain basins and Chihuahuan Desert in the west and brush country in the south. For centuries, scattered Native American groups hunted buffalo and other game across the immense UTSA’s InstituteUTSA’s Cultures, of Texan #068-0154 grassland prairies.
