Butterfield Stage Line The Butterfield Overland Trail is actually 2 separate trails. Clarification: The original Overland Mail operated at the same time as the Butterfield route. Wells Fargo bought out John Holladay in 1866 and merged the two. Overland Mail followed the Oregon trail to Julesberg Colorado then split off. Variations came into present day Greeley Colorado. From there, you could follow the Cherokee Trail North to Wyoming or the Trapper Trail on into Denver. Butterfield came through South of Denver. The variation to the Smokey Hill region (present day Cherry Creek Dam - Highway 83 or Parker Road) was later abandoned. There was no original Butterfield Overland Trail. In 1866 Wells Fargo bought out Overland and merged the two. New Mexico History Index

A Brief History of New Mexico In prehistoric days, much of New Mexico sat underneath a vast sea that covered a great portion of the Southwest, and giant dinosaurs roamed freely across whatever existing tropical landscape rested above water. Ultimately, the giant reptiles vanished, the sea receded and glaciers from the last ice age melted, carving out the high mountains found in many regions of the state today. The Clovis-Paleo Indians later discovered the eastern plains of New Mexico, the same expansive romping grounds of the dinosaurs around 10,000 B.C. The ancestors of contemporary Native Americans in the state lived in many areas here shortly after the time of Christ, leaving behind bountiful archaeological evidence of their existence and lifestyles. They lived in pit houses, which were holes dug in the ground with ground-level roofs constructed of wood, branches and mud. Some of these ancient Indians also dwelled in cliffside caves while others built impressive stone structures at Chaco Canyon, aligned nearly perfectly with the seasonal skyward paths of the sun and the moon. Visitors are encouraged to glimpse the past at Chaco, as well as at Bandelier, Puye, Mogollon, Aztec and Salmon among others. The Ancestral Pueblo people of Chaco in the northwest region and the Mogollon of the southwest region established peaceful, agrarian-based societies by A.D. 1000. It's unknown exactly why the Mogollon culture vanished, but archaeologists believe the Ancestral Pueblo abandoned their towering stone settlements because of drought and they later built most of the multistoried adobe pueblos found today along the Rio Grande. When the Spanish arrived in the 1500s, the natives lived along the river, in western New Mexico and parts of eastern Arizona just as they do today. The then-nomadic Apache and Navajo tribes, also known as the Athapascan people, were the last Native Americans to arrive in this area, around the same time as the first Spanish explorers, and they frequently raided the relatively peaceful Pueblo villages.

HISTORY New Mexico Magazine Vacation Guide New Mexico is a timeless land of ancient cultural traditions and striking environmental diversity. For thousands of years, man has traveled through this Land of Enchantment leaving footprints to a rich and colorful past. Some of the earliest known inhabitants included the folsom Paleo-Indians who wandered into the area hunting animals that have been extinct for more than 10000 years. Indians farmed the fertile land along the Rio Grande, producing corn, beans and squash. By the end of the 13th century, the Anasazi had completely abandoned their high-walled cities in northwestern New Mexico and the rest of the Four Corners area and drifted south where, along with the farmers from the Rio Grande, they developed the sophisticated Pueblo communities. Shortly before the arrival of the Spanish, the Athapascan tribes entered the Southwest. Divided into two related groups, the Apache and the Navajo, the Athapascans established permanent villages only in the last 200 years. Explorer Vasquez de Coronado trekked through New Mexico in 1540. In search of treasure, and convinced that the adobe pueblos were the legendary Seven Cities of Cibola, Coronado had orders to conquer the Indians and claim their riches. Failing to find the fabled gold, however, he and his men returned to New Spain without any newly won wealth.

Mexico: History of Struggle The struggle of the masses in Mexico dates back to the early 16th century when Spanish forces invaded the Yucatan and Mexican coasts. Henadez de Corboda and Herman Cortes were the Spanish officers in charge of the expedition to conquer the vast Aztec and Mayon civilisations. In 1521, after two years of vicious fighting, Tenochtitlan (now Mexico City) fell to Cortes, and by 1525 Francisco Montejo had conquered the Mayon people. By 1540 most of northern Mexico was under Spanish rule. Years of oppression followed as the Spanish conquerors tried to pacify the indigenous population. For the next three hundred years Mexico was ruled as a Spanish colony. The native population revolted in 1541, but the uprising was crushed. The Spanish rulers proceeded to rob Mexico of all its natural resources, mainly silver, and created vast plantations for the export of wheat, sugar cane, etc. By the 17th century the economy of 'New Spain' collapsed. Disease and overwork cut the native population from 12 million in 1520 to one million by 1720, but it was not until the early l9th century that major threats to Spanish rule began.

It was led by Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, a parish priest who issued 'Grito de Delores', calling for an end to Spanish rule, redistribution of land, and empowerment of the masses. Costilla and his followers were captured and executed. A following uprising by Jose Maria Moreles y Pavon in 1814 was also crushed, and the disintegrating independence movement turned to guerilla warfare.

MEXICO M exico's historical attractions - from the ancient ruins of the Olmecs, Maya, and Aztec, to the train routes used by the brash and legendary Pancho Villa - rank second only to the beaches of Cancun - and Alcapulco as the prime reason people come. The reason for this is simple: the tale of Mexico's past, accompanied by an overwhelming amount of physical remains, is as romantic, blood-curling, dramatic, and complex as it gets. Somewhere around 1000 BC, the first of Mexico's ancient civilizations, the Olmecs, established themselves in what are now the states of Veracruz and Tabasco. They worshipped a jaguar God, built cities, constructed massive stone head carvings, and spread throughout central and southern Mexico until their civilization mysteriously vanished around 400 BC. Though the Olmecs left behind relatively few artifacts, their influence on later cultures was profound. In their wake came the Teotihuacan, the Zapotecs and Mixtecs of Monte Alban, the Maya of Yucatan, the Toltecs, Aztecs, and dozens of smaller, citied groups. To balance the spiritual and earthly realms and appease their pantheons of gods, many of these civilizations practiced human sacrifice, a fact that often overshadows their great achievements in the realms of mathematics, astronomy, architecture, textile weaving, art, and pottery. The Maya, for example, were so advanced in mathematics and astronomy that their calendar was the world's most accurate until this century. They could also predict solar and lunar eclipses.

Click here for text version by Kerry R. J. Tattersall THE ARCHDUKE FERDINAND MAXIMILIAN THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL In 1857 Francis Joseph appointed his brother to the post of governor-general in the Austrian held provinces of northern Italy, the Kingdom of Lombardy-Venetia. The Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian took up his residence at Monza outside Milan with his new bride, the Princess Charlotte of Belgium. The Austrians were far from popular in northern Italy, but despite resistance from the military authorities, the vice-regal couple began slowly to win over many Italians. Ferdinand Maximilian's liberalism aroused less enthusiasm in Vienna, however, where he was increasingly seen as being in opposition to his imperial brother's government. With the approach of war in 1859 against France and the north Italian kingdom of Piedmont-Sardinia, Francis Joseph relieved his brother of his office and gave full power to the military. Both the archduke and his wife resented this dismissal. THE IMPERIO MEXICANO Ferdinand Max returned to his castle of Miramar, but events across the Atlantic would soon put an end to his political inactivity. An army of intervention consisting of Spanish, English and French troops had landed in Mexico to enforce payment of the huge foreign debts of the Mexican republic. The Spanish and English soon withdrew, but the French troops of Napoleon III remained to establish a conservative, pro-French regime. To achieve this they decided to re-establish a monarchy, and in October,1863, a Mexican delegation offered the crown to Ferdinand Max as a prince of the first European dynasty to have ruled Mexico centuries before.

home search help worldguide ... Related Weblinks Mexico History From the 16th to 19th centuries, a sort of apartheid system existed in Mexico. Spanish-born colonists were a minuscule part of the population but were considered nobility in New Spain (as Mexico was then called), however humble their prior status in Spain. By the 18th century, criollos (people born of Spanish parents in New Spain) had acquired fortunes in mining, commerce, ranching and agriculture, and were seeking political power commensurate with their wealth. Below the criollos were the mestizos , of mixed Spanish and indigenous or African slave ancestry, and at the bottom of the pile were the remaining indigenous people and African slaves. The catalyst for rebellion came in 1808 when Napoleon Bonaparte occupied most of Spain - direct Spanish control over New Spain suddenly ceased and rivalry between Spanish-born colonists and criollos intensified. On September 16, 1810, Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, a criollo parish priest, issued his call to rebellion, the Grito de Dolores. In 1821 Spain agreed to Mexican independence. The revolution (1910-20) was a 10-year period of shifting allegiances between a spectrum of leaders, in which successive attempts to create stable governments were wrecked by new skirmishes. The basic ideological rift was between liberal reformers and more radical leaders, such as Emiliano Zapata, who were fighting for the transfer of hacienda land to the peasants. The 10 years of violent civil war cost an estimated 1.5 to two million lives - roughly one in eight Mexicans. After the revolution, political will was focused on rebuilding the national infrastructure. Precursors of today's Party of the Institutionalized Revolution (PRI) took power in 1934, introducing a program of reform and land redistribution.

To understand Mexico's history, you need to remember that the ancient past is still important in modern Mexico. As the writer William Faulkner put it, "The past is not dead. It's not even past." Which is why Mexico's past wasn't erased. Instead, the Indian culture merged with Spain's. The result is that there are over 20 million Native Mexicans here, speaking nearly 60 languages and dialects. And they are all descendants of those ancient citizens. Because our past is alive and well in our people. The country's history can loosely be broken down as follows: 1200 B.C.-1521 A.D. : THE PRE-HISPANIC ERA OLMECS MAYAN ZAPOTEC/MIXTEC ... 1945-Present : THE MODERN ERA 1200 B.C.-1521 A.D. : THE PRE-HISPANIC ERA Five major native civilizations, each occupying a different period of history, have influenced the history of Mexico.

Regular encampments,tools,etc have been found all along the hills/mountains that run from Ajo to the Sea.Found in these sites are materials from tribes far to the north ,and south of the area.During these times the area supported many plants,animals,and water sources that have long since disappeared from the landscape. During these times the Puerto Peñasco area (built on the heavy salt/calcium-'Caliche' in the sands 'Aeolian sand dunes'-making planting difficult) ,and specifically the rock caves in what is now the 'Old Town' section supported a sizeable Native 'community'.The downtown mountain nicknamed the 'Whale'( has long acted as a magnet for the different cultures that have settled there. Archeological studies of the area seem to indicate this was a great gathering place for many different tribes,who during their visit remained peaceful with each other during their many,and sometimes lengthy visits of 'commerce'.

Coronado and his men also traveled to the Grand Canyon and through the Great Plains on their New Mexico expedition. During the next 70 years, Spanish soldiers and officials, as well as Franciscan missionaries , sought to subjugate and convert the Pueblo Indians of the region.

spanish history Spanish History in Santa Fe by Malcolm Pynn The Spanish influence in New Mexico's capital city dates back to 1540 when Francisco Vasquez de Coronado, a Spanish nobleman, traveled north from Mexico in search of the fables "Seven Cities of Cibola". He explored what is now northern New Mexico extensively before returning empty-handed to Mexico. After several aborted attempts to resettle the northern territories, in 1598 Juan de Onate founded a Spanish village, which he named San Gabriel, located near today's San Juan Pueblo about 30 miles north of Santa Fe. Onate's experiment at San Gabriel did not fare well and in 1610 the provincial capital was moved to Santa Fe under Governor Pedro de Peralta and the Palace of the Governors was built. Santa Fe prospered until 1680 when the Pueblo Indian Revolt was launched in which 400 Spanish were killed and the occupying force was driven back to El Paso del Norte. It took 12 years for the Spanish to resettle New Mexico under Don Diego de Vargas and Santa Fe has been a city with strong Spanish influence ever since.
