Scope and Content
From the Collection:
The collection contains miscellaneous business records of Blazer's Mill as well as J. H. Blazer's general merchandising business. Joseph H. Blazer operated the mill during most of the period that these records encompass. His son, A. N. Blazer, later operated it. The records include correspondence, time books, blotters, logbooks, sales books, grist mill accounts, and journals. Some records refer to the company as "Tularosa Mills." The correspondence covers business deals and finances of J.H. Blazer including letters from George H. Abbott, who at one time had joint ownership of the Mill. Also letters from the Ft. Stanton Quartermaster appointing Blazer U.S. Forage Agent for Ft. Stanton, and correspondence from various family members discussing every day life at Blazer's Mill. There is a diary dated Jan. 1, 1872-May 9, 1872, by his daughter, Ellie, as well as the "Catalogue of Reports Statutes and Digests United States Statutes", an 1882 catalogue of volumes in the Territorial Law Library.
Two volumes formerly comprising the Tularosa Mills collection were incorporated into the Blazer's Mill records in 1998 (Blazer's Mill Records Volumes 1 & 2).
