Yes, though it's very big neighborhood. What's your connection to it? Mine is family, from both sides of the border, for a very long time. They came and they went, back and forth, over many, many decades My great-great-great-great-something-or-other is this lady: pbsvideodb.pbs.org Her diary, describing her journey from Missouri to Santa Fe on the Santa Fe Trail, then south to Chihuahua on the Chihuahua Trail [she was probably the first Anglo woman to go down the Chihuahua Trail], is an important historical source: amazon.com* Her story needs to be made into a movie starring Jodie Foster or someone else equally talented. Some mercenary SOB has already had the same thought: sunstonepress.com I have a first edition of her now largely forgotten diary. Her prose is excellent. Here's a good description of the Chihuahua Trail, a tough road under any circumstances: desertusa.com The interesting thing, to me anyway, vbg, is that her branch of our family is not the one that ultimately ended up in West Texas. After he husband died, she moved to Kansas or Missouri, where she lived out her days. She was sort of an unkowing scout for another family branch that ended up permanently in the area.
