Geocache Description:

One step to a great piece of American History

Around the 1890's a rif began between large and small ranchers in the area. This Cache is a stepping stone to a wealth of history. Easy off/on I-25, and a couple of miles south is another marker where the Calvary finally came to the rescue. North, in the town of Buffalo you can continue this wonderful investigation of the Old West at the Gatchell Museum. This is a "Good Guy-Bad Guy" tale in the Old West. DO IT..HAVE FUN!

Several events precipitated this war. Please answer the following questions with an e-mail to us as you also post your find. (1)Who was the prominent area rancher; (2) who was accused of his murder; (3)another rancher had also been murdered a few days earlier, who was he?
