Book Description
This text focuses on the circumstances surrounding the Maxwell Land Grant in New Mexico and southern Colorado. The grant involved more than two thousand square miles of land. This work reviews the history of the land in question from the days of Mexican rule under Governor Armijo, to the time of Vigilantes in Raton. It also speaks of the ownership controversy, wherein the Utes, Apaches, Spanish and Americans all thought that they were the true land owners.
