History of Hermosa mining tale in New Mexico
Richard Mansfield White recounts early Hermosa history tied to Palomas Mining District and the Long Nine. The narrative covers the 1881 district naming, exploration camps, discovered ore on Carbonate Hill, and dramatic Indian raids. It details the ascent of mining hopes, the Chloride assay payoff, and the vigilante settlers who protected the frontier.
