Escape from Mesilla, Thursday, September 5

Next meeting will be on Thursday, September 5, at 7 p.m., at Schieffelin Hall, Doug Hocking will speak on Escape from Mesilla. In the spring and summer of 1861, confusion was the order of the day and Apache raids on the rise while the Army did nothing. For some escaping from Mesilla was imperative. There will be an optional no host pre-meeting dinner 5:30 at the Longhorn Restaurant on Allen Street. The public and guests are welcome.
