Mines, Cattle, and Rebellion
An Intimate Portrait of the Mexican Revolution
Once encompassing more than 1.5 million acres, Hacienda de Corralitos Ranch in Chihuahua, Mexico, stood at the center of one of the largest cattle ranching and mining enterprises in northern Mexico. Its remarkable history spans the Apache wars, the growth of El Paso as a transportation and smelting center, the rise of foreign investment, the Mexican Revolution, Pancho Villa, and General John J. Pershing's Punitive Expedition. Drawing upon thousands of original letters, journals, business records, and firsthand accounts, Mines, Cattle, and Rebellion brings the extraordinary history of Corralitos to life through the words of the ranch owners, managers, employees, investors, and visitors who experienced it.
The Borderland Princess
Consort to Criminals, Revolutionaries, Mercenaries, and Patriots
Far more than the history of a famous hotel, The Borderland Princess chronicles the remarkable rise of El Paso, Texas, from a frontier outpost into one of the American Southwest's most influential cities. Through the story of the historic Sheldon Hotel, the book traces the people, events, and relationships that shaped the U.S.–Mexico Borderlands, bringing to life presidents, revolutionaries, financiers, journalists, lawmen, and military leaders whose lives intersected at one of the Southwest's most remarkable historic landmarks.
Additional works document the history of Zzyzx Road on Interstate 15 in the California Mojave Desert, including the spectacular rise and fall of radio evangelist Curtis Howe Springer and the undercover operation that contributed to the historical record surrounding his removal from the Zzyzx site.
