SUMMARY:Culture Series: The New Mexico Cattle Frontier
DESCRIPTION:CANCELLED – 12:30 pm – 1:30 pm\nIn this Culture Series presentation in the Museum’s theater\, range historian Stephen Zimmer of Cimarron\, N.M.\, will survey the rise of New Mexico’s cattle frontier of the 1880s and ’90s. Admission is free. \nSheep grazed the mountains and plains along the Rio Grande for more than two centuries after they were first introduced by Spanish colonists in 1598. But once New Mexico became of Territory of the United States\, Americans began grazing beef cattle on the nutritious grama grass that covered much of the area. John S. Chisum and Lucien Maxwell were among the first American cattle raisers\, and they grazed vast herds that they sold to the federal government to feed soldiers at various Army forts and Indians on reservations in the Territory. \nConditions for raising cattle changed dramatically\, however\, when the Santa Fe Railroad laid tracks over Raton Pass and into the Territory in 1879. The rail line ran south to Albuquerque and eventually to Deming where it intersected the Southern Pacific. Once established\, the Santa Fe provided the means to ship cattle to slaughterhouses in Kansas City and Chicago that processed beef for the burgeoning population of the eastern seaboard. As a result\, large herds of Texas longhorns were driven onto New Mexico’s public domain and a period of open range ranching that extended for the next 20 years. \nZimmer will include excerpts from memoirs of several participants of the era including Eugene Manlove Rhodes\, Agnes Morley Cleaveland\, Jack Thorp\, and Col. Jack “Lead Steer” Potter.

SUMMARY:Culture Series: Killing Pat Garrett
DESCRIPTION:12:30 pm – 1:30 pm\nPat Garrett\, the Wild West’s most famous lawman – the man who killed Billy the Kid – was himself killed on leap day\, February 29\, 1908\, on a barren stretch of road between his home ranch and Las Cruces. \nWho killed him? Was it murder? Was it self-defense? \nNo Garrett biographer has been able to answer these questions. All have expressed opinions. None have presented evidence that would stand up in a court of law. Here\, for the first time\, drawing on newly discovered information is the definitive answer to the Wild West’s most famous unsolved killing. \nAward-winning author and historian David Thomas will discuss this fascinating story which is detailed in his new book\, “Killing Pat Garrett: The Wild West’s Most Famous Lawman — Murder or Self-Defense?” Admission to this day-time Culture Series presentation in the Museum’s Theater is free. \nThe book’s awards include: 2019 Best Book Awards Finalist\, United States History; 2019 Best Indie Book Notable 100 Award Winner; 2019 Royal Dragonfly Book Award Winner\, Second Place\, Historical Non-Fiction. \nSupplementing the text are 102 images\, including six of Garrett and his family which have never been published before. It has been 50 years since a new photo of Garrett was published\, and no photos of his children have ever been published. \nGarrett’s life has been extensively researched. Yet\, the author was able to uncover an enormous amount of new information. He had access to over 80 letters that Garrett wrote to his wife. He discovered a multitude of new documents and details concerning Garrett’s killing\, the events surrounding it\, and the personal life of the man who was placed on trial for killing Garrett. \n• The true actions of “Deacon Jim” Miller\, a professional killer\, who was in Las Cruces the day Garrett was killed.\n• The place on the now abandoned old road to Las Cruces where Garrett was killed.\n• Garrett’s original burial location.\n• The sworn courtroom testimony of the only witness to Garrett’s killing.\n• The policeman who provided the decisive evidence in the trial of the man accused of murdering Garrett.\n• The location of Garrett’s Rock House and Home Ranches.\n• New family details: Garrett had a four-month-old daughter the day he killed Billy the Kid. She died tragically at 15. Another daughter was blinded by a well-intended eye treatment; a son was paralyzed by childhood polio; and Pat Garrett\, Jr.\, named after his father\, lost his right leg to amputation at age 12. \nPat Garrett’s life was a remarkable adventure\, with enormous highs. He met two US presidents: William McKinley Jr. and Theodore Roosevelt. President Roosevelt he met five times\, three times in the White House. He brought the law to hardened gunmen. He oversaw hangings. His national fame was so extensive the day he died that newspapers from the East to the West Coast only had to write “Pat Garrett” for readers to know to whom they were referring. \nHe also had devastating lows. He experienced heartbreaking family tragedy. He was blocked for re-appointment as El Paso Customs Collector by unjustified personal animus. He was pursued ruthlessly for a loan that he had co-signed as a favor for a friend. He had his ranches and livestock confiscated and sold on the Las Cruces public square. \nIn spite of his reputation as a gunman\, when faced with public humiliation\, he responded with commendable dignity. Queried after losing his Custom Collector job\, he replied:\n“I simply take my medicine.” \nThis book is written so you experience his life as he did\, as it happened\, event by event.

SUMMARY:Culture Series: Camp Cody
DESCRIPTION:Culture Series: Camp Cody: A World War I Training Camp in Deming\n7:00 pm – 8:00 pm\nAuthor and historian Jim Eckles will talk about the surprising story of Camp Cody in Deming during World War I. Admission is free. \nJust over a century ago World War I\, the war to end all wars\, ended with millions killed. As a military power\, the United States was woefully unprepared for its role as the steamroller to break the stalemate in the bloody trenches of France. Immediately after declaring war on Germany\, America had to raise and train a multi-million-man army. \nOne of the nation’s 32 training camps was established at Deming\, a town of only 2\,500 people at the time. The facility was dubbed Camp Cody and was erected in just a few months to house and train 30\,000 men. The men\, from farmers to factory workers\, had to learn a new kind of fighting and mass killing – with machine guns and artillery. Then\, a few months after armistice – poof – the camp\, with its tents\, wooden mess halls and large stables literally disappeared. \nObvious questions are: Why select little Deming to host a huge camp? What was it like in the camp living day-to-day for months in a tent? And how did Camp Cody affect Deming? \nJim Eckles is a local historian and retiree from White Sands Missile Range where he worked for 30 years. Camp Cody caught his attention when he was asked to lecture on the V-2 rocket and the Trinity Site atomic bomb test at a World War II round-table in Minneapolis. Before his talk\, Eckles discovered organizers seemed more interested in what he knew about Camp Cody instead of the WWII technology. Subsequent research opened the door to an all-but-forgotten chapter in southern New Mexico’s World War I history. Who knew almost 30\,000 men once lived just north of I-10 in Deming? This led to a book about the camp that Eckles will use for the basis of his talk.
