Bill Mccarty Interviewed by Gladys Long
Socorro County Historical Society, Oral History Tapes Bill McCarty interviewed by Gladys Long Bill McCarty is a native New Mexican who was born in Reserve 77 years ago. Can you tell us something about Reserve? It's just a Spanish settlement, and they got their mail just once a month. It came from Alma when they did get it about once a month - 35 miles south of Reserve. Is that town still around? It's practically a ghost town. On the main highway between? --Reserve and Silver City. My father came in 1882 with the John B. Slaughter trail herd and he stayed there the rest of his life. His age at the time was nineteen - he was nineteen years old. He spent his lifetime there- he went first into the mercantile business and then he went into the livestock business. The business he spent his life in. Did he start with a store or did he - I thought you said he came from Texas. My grandfather, that's my mother's father, organized this store. They organized it in eighteen and eighty seven. And then in eighteen and eighty eight my father did the framing then that was the winter of the big blizzard over the whole country - 1888. The blizzard of '88 they called it, and he waited (waded?) for 120 days from Magdalena to the Patterson place. Where is the Patterson place? The Patterson Lake? Well it's about ten miles below Horse Springs on the road going to Beaverhead or maybe Mogollon. Is it more of a path? Oh, it was just a path, but he was able to rent a house there to store his groceries in until the wagons would pick it up and take it to my grandfather's store in Frisco. -

Crossroads of Newand Ancient
NEW MEXICO Crossroads of NewandAncient 1999 – 2000 Speakers Bureau & Chautauqua Programs Millennium Edition N EW M EXICO E NDOWMENT FOR THE H UMANITIES ABOUT THE COVER: AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHER MARKO KECMAN of Aztec captures the crossroads of ancient and modern in New Mexico with this image of Comet Hale-Bopp over Fajada Butte in Chaco Culture National Historic Park. 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.

West? Why was it so hard to stop violence and crime? 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. 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. -
Elfego Baca and the "Frisco Shootout"
Elfego Baca and the "Frisco Shootout" Elfego Baca was a gunman, lawman, lawyer, and politician in the closing days of the Wild West. His goal in life was to be a peace officer, He wanted, he said, "The outlaws to hear my steps a block away". Southwest New Mexico at the time was still relatively a sparsely settled cattle ranching country. In 1884, at age 19, Baca stole some guns, bought a mail-order sheriff's badge, and more or less appointed himself deputy sheriff in Socorro County, New Mexico. Cowboys roamed the land and did as they pleased. They might come into a town, drink at the saloon, harass the locals, and then shoot up the town out of boredom. Baca meant to put an end to that. In October, 1884, in the town of Lower San Francisco Plaza, Elfego Baca arrested a drunken cowboy named Charlie McCarty. Baca flashed his badge at McCarty after deputizing himself as a peace officer, and took McCarty's gun. After Bill Milligan, the owner of the bar, refused to press charges, Baca took McCarty hostage. McCarty's fellow cowboys attempted a peaceful negotiation of his release, but Baca refused and opened fire on the negotiator. After deputies and justices of the peace were brought in from surrounding towns, Baca was forced to bring McCarty back to the Justice of the Peace for a trial and, in turn, was provided with assurances of Baca's safety. Justice of the Peace Ted White granted McCarty's freedom. After the verdict, Elfego Baca ran out of the courtroom still in possession of McCarty's gun. -

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. -

Early Life of Elizabeth Garrett
Library of Congress Early Life of Elizabeth Garrett Redfield Georgia B. FEB 15 1937 [?] 2/11/37 512 words Early Life of Elizabeth Garrett Given In An Interview. Feb. 9-1937 “As an ‘old-timer’-as you say-I will be glad to tell you anything you would like to hear of my life in our Sunshine State-New Mexico”; said Elizabeth Garrett in an appreciated interview graciously granted this writer. Appreciated because undue publicity of her splendid achievuments and of her private life, is avoided by this famous but unspoiled musician and composer. “My father, Pat Garrett came to Fort Sumner New Mexico in 1878. He and my mother, who was Polinari Gutierez Gutiernez , were married in Fort Sumner. “I”Was born at Eagle Creek, up above the Ruidoso in the White Mountain country. “We moved to Roswell (five miles east) while I was yet an infant. I have never been back to my birthplace but believe a lodge has been built on our old mountain home site. “You ask what I think of the Elizabeth Garrett bill presented at this session of the legislature? To grant me a monthly payment during my lifetime for what I have accomplished of the State Song, I think was a beautiful tho'ught.

Bear and to the “Club o' Ten” as the originators of the idea. If this bill is passed New Mexico will be the first state that has given such evidence of appreciation (in such a distinctive way) to a composer & autho'r of a State Song. -
History Newsletter
NEWSLETTER FOR ALUMNI AND FRIENDS, DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY, UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS, FAYETTEVILLE HISTORY NEWSLETTER Issue No. XXXVIII, 2009 –2010 History: The Musical Let‘s face it. However distinguished we might be, our monster-trucks-and-malt-liquor Department sometimes lacks a certain tone. Watch us howl over ―The Three Stooges‖; listen to us launch into off-color sea shanties or plow through sev- enteen choruses of ―All the Young Dudes,‖ and you‘d no doubt agree. We were fortunate, indeed, then, to shanghai a pair of world-class scholars away from the Music Department—and just in the nick of time. Both faced conscription into the Razorback Marching Band. Professors Rembrandt Wolpert and Elizabeth Markham are the Nick and Nora Charles of East Asian historical musicol- ogy—well-traveled, of wide reputation in their field, and fun at parties, too. They greatly enhance our offerings in Asian history and further the globalization of our medieval studies curriculum. Both hold PhDs from Cambridge University, with Wolpert also carrying an M.A. from Universität München and an M.Sc. in computer science from the University of Otago (in Markham‘s native New Zealand). Before arriving at the U of A, Wolpert held appointments in Sinology at Cambridge and the University of Würzburg and in social anthropology at Queen‘s University of Belfast. Markham has held research positions at the same institutions. Markham describes her research interests as music, musical thinking, and culture in East Asia, particularly in the courts and temple arts of medieval Japan. She studies the relationship between words and music and between the oral and written in Japanese poetry, chant, and song. -
