| Why it’s on the list | The history of Fort Bayard, New Mexico, from its 1866 founding through 1899 — the post that garrisoned this corner of the territory through the Apache wars. It is where Sgt. James Cooney mustered out before finding silver in the Mogollons and being killed in Victorio’s 1880 raid: the military frame around Catron County’s founding decades. |
Where I heard about it
- 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).
