A Life Like No Other Ranch Life on Lands Now Administered by Holloman Air Force Base
Part of the Holloman Air Force Base Resources project
Year: 1997
Summary
As time passes, a wealth of information about the early days of ranching and farming is lost as the people involved move on or pass away. The importance of recovering this information in a timely fashion could not be ignored. For this reason, other means of funding were acquired to initiate the Oral History project presented in this publication. The Oral History Project was designed to continue the research started by Hawthorne in 1993. It focused on providing archival research on all pre-military historic sites documented on HAFB (the base has been completely surveyed), as well as conducting oral history interviews with local ranchers. Unlike the first project, these oral interviews went beyond the discussion of archaeological sites and, instead, looked at ranch life and the environment in the past 90 years. This project has exhausted the documentary research potential of the historic sites on HAFB, and has greatly enhanced our understanding of the lifestyles of the ranchers who once lived lands now administered by HAFB.
