In 1841; Carlos Beaubien and Guadalupe Miranda received a grant of land from the governor of New Mexico in the northeastern part of the Mexican province. Frontier conditions prevented colonization of the grant until 1848; when Beaubien�s son-in-law Lucien Maxwell led settlers from Taos to the Rayado River where it crossed the Santa Fe Trail. Maxwell�s friend Kit Carson joined him the following year; and their ranch prospered in spite of frequent attacks by Jicarilla Apaches. Later; Maxwell moved north to the Cimarron River. Gold was discovered on the western part of the grant in 1866; and miners rushed to the diggings; establishing the town of Elizabethtown. It became the first seat of Colfax County in 1869. Maxwell sold the grant to foreign investors who organized the Maxwell Land Grant and Railway Company in 1870 and founded the town of Cimarron. The Santa Fe Railroad entered the county in 1879; which precipitated the creation of the towns of Raton and Springer and also fostered large-scale ranching; mining; and lumbering.

7 of 8 people found the following review helpful. Enthusiastically recommended!By Fernando Auml;riasAnd I mean "enthusiastically" very pragmatically. This book is a refreshing addition to my resource collection because it opens up alternative methods to approach programming. I come to this stage of the process with much more confidence and resolve because I have this great book to consult If I should get stuck somewhere.If you are a person that is seeking to become powerfully informed about this stage of designing. or if you are a person seeking to supplement some additional points of view about programming. this book would serve you extremely well.1 of 4 people found the following review helpful. about this bookBy Basem A.
