Scope and Content Note
Mainly comprised of historical materials on New Mexico, written or
collected by Maurice Garland Fulton. Items include typescript drafts of books,
correspondence, nineteenth century newspapers, newspaper articles, maps,
audio-visual materials, diaries, poems, biographical sketches, legal documents,
pamphlets, and photographs. Some material is original, while some is
photomechanically reproduced. Fulton's research documented the lives of men
such as the Santa Fe trader Josiah Gregg; Southern poet Irwin Russell; cattle
baron John S. Chisum, English entrepreneur John H. Tunstall, Governor Lew
Wallace, and outlaw Billy the Kid. As part of his studies on the settlement of
the Pecos River Valley, and also the Lincoln County War, Fulton compiled
information on many of the local families. Photographs depict named and
anonymous individuals; groups such as cowboys; gravestones; and different
localities throughout New Mexico, particularly Lincoln and Roswell.
Includes annotated copy of Mary L. Moore's M.A. thesis inventory on the
collection, which contains background information on Fulton, a bibliography,
and detailed item descriptions.
