| Why it’s on the list | Herman A. Hoover’s account of the early days of the Mogollon mining camp in New Mexico, named for its saloon — the mining camp as a social world rather than an industry: saloons, characters, disorder. |

- Debbie Lee — named it in Part 2 of her four-part Catron County Centennial History, posted publicly by the Catron County Historical Society (April 2022), as Tales of the Bloated Goat.
