Lincoln County Historical Society Publication, Book 6
 
Here are first person accounts of the glory days of mining in White Oaks and Nogal, of cattle drives and the Block Ranch, of stagecoach holdups, of ranching, homesteading, cowboying, railroad building, and the Bonito pipeline.  In these stories, we learn of the hardships and struggles of frontier living, of endurance, heroisam, villainy, humor and tragedy.  Real frontier life in Lincoln County outdid anything Hollywood could produce in color, drama, and scope.
