Collection of Mescalero Apache records, 1849-1963.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/28168528

Copies of source materials for Mehren's M.A. thesis at the University of Arizona, 1969. The records of the Mescalero Apache Reservation are in the form of microfilms, photographs, and photocopies from federal repositories. They include reports; census rolls; correspondence, 1849-1904; photographs, ca. 1883-1885; muster rolls, 1873; maps and plans, 1858-1915; and reports from the trial of F.C. Godfroy. The related source documents are a photocopied thesis from 1938 by Cecil B. Trammell, titled Mescalero Indian Relations in New Mexico, 1865-1885, and photocopies of various primary and secondary source materials. This material examines the administration of the Lincoln County, N.M., Mescalero Indian Agency from 1869-1881, with insights into the influence from nearby Fort Stanton, and also from the local power struggle among Anglo settlers, known as the Lincoln County War. Photographs depict Fort Stanton, Mescalero Apaches, and the Mescalero Apache Reservation.
