The Nogal Mesa: A History of Kivas and Ranchers in Lincoln County
About this book
This book was a finalist for the New Mexico Book Co-Op History Book of the Year. Most people think of Billy the Kid and the Lincoln County War when Lincoln County, New Mexico is mentioned. "Yet, the county has a rich history besides that chapter of lawlessness and violence. In writing this book I wanted to tell the story of the miners and forest rangers and the Civilian Conservation Corps and early settlers."The Jornada Mogollon culture was here over a thousand years ago but had left before Christopher Columbus arrived in the new world. "They have left pieces of their lifestyle in the form of pueblos and pottery. "A railroad was built in the basin below the Mesa, but the water there was full of alkaline and chemicals. "The Mesa had pristine mountain water and an engineering miracle was built in the form of a pipeline to get the water from the Mesa to the railroad. "A western religious revival in the form of the Ranchman's Camp continues this summer for the 71st year.
