Scope and Content
From the Collection:
The majority of this collection consists of photocopies of articles, clippings and documents from various sources on the Bell Ranch, its owners and managers, as well as the cattle industry and agriculture. The research material, research notebooks and drafts cover each chapter from the book: Montoya Land Grant, John S.Watts (owner), Wilson Waddingham (owner), Arthur J. Tisdall (general manager), Charles M. O'Donel (general manager), and Arthur K. Mitchell (general manager). The correspondence includes letters from Mattie Ellis, wife of George F. Ellis, Bell Ranch manager from 1947- 1970, and Carlos F. Stoddard, Jr., grandson of E. G. Stoddard, first president of the Red River Valley Co. The microfilm contains research material from various institutions. There are oral interviews with Bill Wood and Barbara Plummer, Mark Wood's daughter. Mark Wood was Mitchell's wagon boss at the Bell Ranch. The interviews were conducted in Tucumcari, New Mexico on August 23 and 24, 1989. Although the majority of Remley's primary source material came from the Red River Valley Company Records, he collected this material from institutions and individuals outside of the University of New Mexico.
There is a small amount of research, correspondence and drafts for other Remley writings: an article on Edward Abbey and the forward to the Culley book Cattle, Horses & Men of the Western Range.
