Great New Mexico Cattle Raid 1872 Details Texans and Loot
The 1872 raid led by Texan John Hutson and about 90 cowboys devastated parts of northeastern New Mexico. They seized 4000 to 6000 head of cattle from Puerto de Luna area, killed rancher Simpson, hung a cowboy, beat Julian Baca, and killed postmaster Edward Seaman. Local residents resisted at Loma Parda but Hutson’s group returned. Miguel Otero I sought intercession. Hutson claimed no arm engagement. No one punished. the affair fueled Tejano resentment toward Texans.
