I enjoyed reading this book, particularly Chapter 8; I also enjoyed scanning Professor Rothman’s bibliography. and his list of illustrations, photos, and maps.

Rothman’s book treats both Carlsbad Caverns and Guadalupe Mountains history. The National Park Service-funded book had a primary objective of assisting “visitor-contact rangers” to research and refine their knowledge of area history.
If you are a ranger or someone interested in Carlsbad Caverns history or a general area history “buff,” check out Professor Rothman’s book.
It is just a link away.
