Lincoln County War Echoes and Fort Stanton Visit
A travelogue recounts a New Mexico journey from a hillside view of Florencio Gonzalez’s ranch to Lincoln’s historic district. It covers Fort Stanton’s 19th century origins, military roles protecting settlers from Indians, the post’s present layout, and a visit to Troop B’s quarters with observations on rations, discipline, and desertion factors.
