Operating from his hacienda in Las Cruces, New Mexico, Epi- fanio was a highly respected trader who kept his merchandise- loaded caravans moving from Westport, Missouri, to Chihuahua, Mexico. He also freighted government supplies from Fort Union to resupply other posts in New Mexico. Aguirre was a frontiersman as well as a trader, and a man of great ability and courage, which was frequently tested in encounters with the Comanche and Apache along the trail.
