This frontier settlement had been in the mind of Lucien Bonaparte Maxwell when he returned to Kaskaskia, Illinois to select household items for his mansion under construction. In 1861 he began construction of his Aztec Mill and the locale which was to become known as Cimarron when the United States government established a post office by that name at Maxwell's Ranche with Lucien Maxwell as postmaster. Whether the mill at any time was the site of the post office is not clear. Topics discussed herein include: an article by Lawrence R. Murphy published in the New Mexico Historical Review entitled \"Master of the Cimarron: Lucien B. Maxwell\" (1980), which describes aspects of Maxwell's Ranche; a brief historical account of Kaskaskia, Illinois, with its relationship to Maxwell; Aztec Mill sandstone; local building activity; the quarry; working and finishing stone; tool descriptions, stone walls, a discussion of the 1860s Maxwell's Ranche photo; Cimarron Agency letters which frequently pertain to relations with Native Americans including Moacha Utes, Apaches, Navajos, Capote and others; and a bibliography.

In June of 1846, under orders from Gen. Stephen Kearny, Col. Alexander Doniphan led the 1st Regiment of Missouri Mounted Volunteers on an extended 3,600 mile march into contested territory. This expedition took the Army of the West from Ft. Leavenworth to Santa Fe, and then through to Chihuahua, Saltillo and Matamoras, Mexico, with decisive American victories at the battles of Brazito and Sacramento.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe campaign is described here in the first-hand account of John Taylor Hughes, a private in the 1st Regiment and the official historian of the campaign. Hughes' seminal text, Doniphan's Expedition (originally published in 1847), offers a day-by-day retelling of events on the march culminating in the Battle of Sacramento, in which Doniphan's 1,164 Missouri volunteers overcame some 4,000 Mexican regulars to occupy Chihuahua City. The narrative is not confined to military operations. Hughes discusses at great length the character of the New Mexico landscape, buffalo hunting, the everyday activities of the soldier in camp, the habits of the plains Indians and the interactions of American soldiers with the Mexican villagers. The Navajo and Apache were a constant presence during the expedition, posing a serious threat to the supply lines and messengers. By contrast, the Mexicans are most often portrayed as a nuisance, trespassing in camp and distracting the men from their duties.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWilliam Elsey Connelley has reprinted Hughes' work with a wealth of extra material. Connelley's 1907 edition features extensive historical and genealogical annotations, additional biographical sketches, fifty pages of regimental rosters, two large fold-out maps, eleven appendices and a comprehensive index. Biographical sketches are included for Col. Doniphan and other key figures in the campaign such as Gen. Kearny, Major-General Sterling Price and John T. Hughes, supplemented by Hughes' diary, Col. Doniphan's memoirs and the narrative of one Charles R. Morehead, a member of Doniphan's supply train. Appendices include an interview with Col.

These pages preserve the story of this locale on the southwest frontier as recounted by women and men who were there and recorded their impressions and observations. Using a fine brush, historian Andrew Wahll has painted an engrossing picture of daily life by using the actual words of travelers of the region as they traveled to and from the settlement on the Rayado River. Readers get a detailed and colorful picture of the area: from an early Mexican outpost to an American farm and ranch. Most trail accounts focus on movement over a route, however Westing describes the frontier as it existed at one place, Rayado, Territory of New Mexico. Travelers came and went, including women who kept diaries, obituaries of leading citizens, soldier's records and orders, mountain men tales, and accounts of explorers in officials reports. There were naturalist's accounts of new flora and fauna, emerging settlement patterns, and clashes with local Indians, as well as growing border tensions between Mexico and the United States. Rayado became a locale on the major route between Mexico and the United States as trade grew to gigantic proportions between the two nations. This is not a broad brush approach but rather a detailed close up look at a locale and the daily life of people and events in the region. An index to full names, places and subjects; and a collection of thirty early photographs showing buildings, roads, bridges, physical features and personages enhances the narrative.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAndrew J.
