Taos Pueblo Revolt Trio New Mexico’s Palace of the Governors Photo Archives acquired its first original photograph of Ceran St. Vrain this year (above). The Santa Fe Trail trader and wheat magnate is seated at left in the circa 1865 carte de visite. The inset also shows Dick Wootton (standing) and José Maria Valdez (seated at right). All three men helped crush the rebellion of Mexicans and their Taos Pueblo allies in 1847. The Mexicans were angry because Gov. Manuel Armijo had surrendered the territory of New Mexico to U.S. military forces the previous August—without firing a single shot. The Mexican-American War ended with the signing of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. – COURTESY PALACE OF THE GOVERNORS PHOTO ARCHIVES –

Payne-ful Realization

I just read Frederick Nolan’s TWMag.com article, “The Birth of an Outlaw,” and applaud the magazine’s doggedness. It’s great to see some truly original research on Billy the Kid for a change. Regarding one Harvey Edmonds: I’ve got him in the 1885 New Mexico state census as a 55-year-old, Connecticut-born lawyer living in Colfax County, New Mexico (see below). In the same household is 17-year-old Basivio(?) Edmonds, who I am assuming is Harvey’s son. That would place Harvey in New Mexico Territory as early as 1868. To my mind, this Harvey Edmonds, a lawyer living in New Mexico, was the legal witness at the wedding of William Antrim and the Kid’s mother, Catherine McCarty. Mark Lee Gardner Cascade, Colorado

I think that you may be mistaken about David Payne being third from left in Opening Shot, May 2015 (see photo at top left). If you look at the known picture of Payne in the inset (top right) and compare the shape of the nose, eye and facial hair with those of the gent holding an ax, (third from left, in the above detail), you may change your mind. Even the hat is the style seen in the known picture of Payne. The person third from left has a much darker beard—fuller and a different style. I would pick man number five as being Payne. David A.

POINT

BY BOB BOZE BELL

Short & Memorable The real Luke Short finally gets his due.

I

have always dug the name Luke Short, and I am not alone in my appreciation. In 1935, Illinois-born writer Frederick Dilley Glidden sold “Six-Gun Lawyer” to Cowboy Stories pulp magazine. The editor liked the story, but complained that Glidden’s name did not sound “Western.” Glidden’s agent, Marguerite E. Harper, came up with the pen name Luke Short because, as she put it, “It is short and memorable,” which is redundant, if you think about it. Neither she nor Glidden knew that the name was the handle of a famous Old West character. (I have a hard time believing this claim, especially since Glidden was a fan of Westerns.) At any rate, the new name worked like a charm. After publishing 13 novels in the 1930s under the pen name Luke Short, Glidden started writing movies, with four Luke Short-penned movies appearing in 1948 alone. He enjoyed a long career, before dying at the age of 66 in 1974. Thanks to our friends, and respected historians, Chuck Parsons and Jack DeMattos, the real Luke Short finally gets his due in The Notorious Luke Short. From their book, we share how the gunfighter incited the Dodge City War (p. 22). To help out his buddy, Bat Masterson visited Silverton, Colorado, to enlist Wyatt Earp’s support, and the two traveled by train to reach Short. One narrow gauge segment from those days that still steams on is the Durango & Silverton. A great time to ride the train is this August, during the magazine’s fourth “True West Railfest.” This year’s festival is going to be the best yet, with New Mexico historian Paul Andrew Hutton joining the fun (see p. 2-3).

Justice for Jack Remember Jack Swilling’s Arizona legacy, not the suspicion of robbery that preceded his death. The only known photo of Jack Swilling shows him (seated) with his adopted Apache son, Guillermo, in Prescott, Arizona, in 1875. His second wife, Trinidad Mejia Escalante, said the photo had been taken in jest, yet it was used against Swilling after he was accused of robbing a stagecoach in 1878. — COURTESY ROBERT G. MCCUBBIN COLLECTION —

P

ioneer Jack Swilling should be remembered for his many contributions to Arizona—but his legacy is clouded by a robbery charge. Born John W. Swilling on April Fool’s Day, 1830, in South Carolina, he spent his first quarter-century in the South. Details about his early life are cloudy. He suffered a broken skull and a gunshot to the back in 1854, but he did not reveal how he got the injuries. Those physical problems, though, led to a lifetime addiction to alcohol and opiates, which probably

encouraged him to spin yarns. On his 26th birthday, Swilling moved west. Over the next several years, he worked as a teamster, miner, bartender and saloon owner, U.S. Army scout, Indian fighter, farmer and businessman. He served during the Civil War—on both sides. During and after that tumultuous period, Swilling helped create two of Arizona’s most important cities. In 1863, three years after Swilling had first explored the Bradshaw Mountains, he guided Joseph R. Walker’s expedition that resulted in a gold rush in the area—and the settlement of the town of Prescott. Swilling made a small fortune. By 1867, he and his family were living in the Salt River Valley. He convinced associates to utilize ancient canals to bring water to the valley, and farmers flocked to the area. It was called Phoenix. In 1878, despite his failing health, the adventurer headed to the

Wickenburg Mountains with two pals, looking for the remains of Col. Jacob Snively, a friend and fellow prospector who had been killed by Apaches seven years before. During the time of their journey, on April 19, three men robbed a stage near Wickenburg—and the description of the suspects matched Swilling and company. Word got around that Swilling had told drinking buddies how robbing the stage would be easy and lucrative. He and his friends were arrested. The sickly Swilling had to be carried to the stagecoach that took him to the hot, dirty and unhealthy jail in Yuma. He wrote a letter to the public, sharing his background and defending himself against the robbery charges. His plea for help did no good. Swilling died in his cell on August 12. Over the next few weeks, authorities identified the real stage robbers. Swilling and his friends were cleared of the crime. Swilling’s final resting place is another cloudy chapter in his life. His grave was among the many lost 25 years later, when a railroad yard was built over Yuma’s pioneer cemetery. Local lore states that Swilling’s body may have been moved to the new Yuma cemetery. No matter where his bones may rest, let’s remember Swilling as a vital Arizona pioneer— and downplay the sad ending to his tale.

Swilling had told drinking buddies how robbing the stage would be easy and lucrative.

Liberty, Not Death A monument at Fort Robinson offers an important rallying cry for Northern Cheyennes.

C

hildren soothed their thirst by scraping their fingernails on barrack windows to capture frost and warded off hunger by chewing on leather. After four days of starvation, their elders declared they would rather die seeking freedom than perish like this. Thus, on January 9, 1879, Chief Dull Knife and approximately 149 of his Northern Cheyennes broke out of their Fort Robinson prison in Nebraska, successfully ending up on their homelands in Montana. They had been imprisoned at the fort since the first time they had fled, from the governmentimposed exile of the tribe to Oklahoma. Although unarmed, these refugees fought the U.S. troops who pursued them. Soldiers killed 39 Northern Cheyenne men and 22 women and children. Journalists horrified the nation with accounts of the flight. President Rutherford B. Hayes called for a congressional investigation of the “unnecessary cruelty,” and The New York Times editorialized about the “shameful record” this incident added to America’s sins. If the Northern Cheyennes had returned to Oklahoma, as the government demanded, or remained in Nebraska to die, his people would have ceased to exist, says Major Robinson, whose Great-Great-Grandmother Humpback Woman survived the march. “It’s truly amazing what they did,” he adds. That’s why so many people’s hearts broke when, in 2000, descendants of those brave Northern Cheyennes discovered next to nothing at Fort Robinson commemorated their plight. Edna Seminole and Rose Eagle Feathers found only a simple sign—pockmarked with bullet holes—designating

the spot. They declared their ancestors deserved better. That marked the beginning of the Northern Cheyenne Breakout Monument that now stands on a hill near Fort Robinson State Park. Robinson, an architect who designed buildings around the world before returning to the Northern Cheyenne reservation in southeastern Montana in 1999, worked with a tribal committee to design the pipestoneclad obelisk, topped by a morning star, symbolizing the Cheyenne name for Dull Knife. Calling the monument “pretty powerful,” Robinson says, “This is not just about remembering, but about healing for the next generation— not just for tribal people, but for nontribal people as well. It’s amazing how many donations came from the people of Nebraska.”

They would rather die seeking freedom than perish like this.

The $150,000 raised for the monument included major contributions from Chief Dull Knife College, the Northern Cheyenne Tribe, Western Energy and St. Labre Indian School. Robinson admits he was shocked when he learned about the breakout, history he had never heard while growing up. Now his children know the story. He and his wife have taken their two girls and son to Fort Robinson. “The kids question why it happened—why we were treated like that,” he says. “It makes them sad, but proud of being Cheyenne.” Nearly 140 years have passed since the tragedy, he says, but now everyone can learn about the courage and determination of the Northern Cheyennes.

First Sketch Made in the West A painting inspired by Thomas Moran’s sketch of Green River tops Christie’s auction of William Koch’s Western artworks.

Christie’s New York still holds the artist record for Thomas Moran, for another Green River oil, painted in 1878. A collector bid $15.8 million for it seven years before the above Green River 1896 oil hammered in at $7.5 million.

B

efore 34-year-old Thomas Moran reached his ultimate destination of Yellowstone in Wyoming Territory in the summer of 1871, he stepped off the Union Pacific Railroad and viewed the towering cliffs of the Green River. The artist completed a field study that he later inscribed, “First Sketch Made in the West.” Moran would return to this first Western subject of his many times during his storied career. His 1896 oil of Green River, featuring a troop of American Indians in the lower right, was exhibited at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and appeared at auction for the first

time, on May 21, 2015, at Christie’s New York. Not surprisingly, this rare work of art landed the top bid, at $7.5 million. The painting was sold from the collection of American businessman William Koch, who is most famously known in the Old West collecting arena for paying $2.1 million for the only known photograph of outlaw Billy the Kid. Koch has been collecting Western artworks for an Old West town he hopes to build, but he ran out of room and decided to put some of the treasures on the auction block. The Green River oil was painted a quarter century after Moran spent five

weeks with Dr. Ferdinand Hayden’s surveying expedition to Yellowstone to complete an article assignment for Scribner’s Monthly. His visual documentation of more than 30 sites, along with photographs taken by William Henry Jackson, inspired the creation of Yellowstone as America’s first national park in 1872. Although Moran took eight trips to the West, between 1871 and 1892, he never forgot his first experience of the frontier. His sketch of Green River lived on in his studio as the basis for more than 40 depictions he created of the river’s bluffs. His daughter Ruth recalled that whenever the household needed funds, the family would joke, “Well, it’s time for Father to paint another Green River.” The artist did have a tendency to minimize signs of civilization in his paintings. He didn’t portray Green River’s railroad settlement, which had about 2,000 residents in 1868, the year Congress established Wyoming Territory. Moran ignored the town’s schoolhouse, church, hotel and brewery, and a landscape scarred by train tracks. Easterners viewing Green River from Moran’s perspective saw a virgin, pristine area, whose only inhabitants were wild American Indians. “I place no value upon literal transcripts from Nature. My general scope is not realistic; all my tendencies are toward idealization,” Moran freely admitted. Along with Moran’s oil, collectors purchased works by other artists who similarly portrayed a more romantic and nostalgic impression of the frontier.
