The Pecos region’s long quest for sulphur begins in 1911 with investigations by Dancy Hines and Prof. Carrera. Early reports praise Toyah basin deposits as potentially world leading, with plans for plants, railroads, and heavy investment by Northern capitalists like Tinally and Doddridge, despite repeated operational pauses and financial troubles.

Webster and copyright law spark creation of early federal protections
Before Noah Webster compiled his dictionary he produced the Blue-Back Speller. Unscrupulous publishers pirated the Speller and reprinted it without payment or credit. This spurred Webster to back federal copyright protections enacted by Congress in 1790. An 1870 law then made the Library of Congress the first central agency for copyright deposits in the United States.
