Long before it was carved out of Lincoln County in 1889, the lands comprising current-day Chaves County were traversed by legendary figures. Be they conquistadors like Antonio de Espejo or cattlemen like John Chisum, all left their mark on the Pecos Valley. In this book, read of Roswell founder Van C. Smith's cosmically-induced gun duel in Santa Fe; seek out the treasure of Diamond Cave near the little settlement of Mesa; ponder whether the fatal bullet that killed Billy the Kid was purchased in Roswell; wonder at the witch of Chihuahuita; delve into Chaves County's secretive connections to the nefarious Santa Fe Ring; then thrill to sightings of La Llorona at the Oasis Well and alligators swimming the Berrendo! Lastly, listen to stories of a Lechuza in the pecan orchards, witness miracles at St. Mary's, and marvel at the holy tortilla of Lake Arthur among many other fantastic Chaves County tales!
