February 22, at 10:00 am, 3845 North Swan Street – “Notable People from Silver City’s History 1860-1895"
Joanie Connors will give a brief outline of some of the amazing men and women who lived in this area from 1860 to 1895, when Silver City was the heart of the Wild West and the Indian Wars.
Many famous people lived in this area then, including Chiricahua warriors, civic leaders, lawmen, outlaws and others who lived here or passed through Silver City. Several were remarkable heroes or left legacies that are worth examining further.
Joanie Connors is not a historian, but as a writer she studied noteworthy people who lived here during Silver City's first 50 years. In addition to reading numerous books and scanning historic newspapers, she has talked to historians Stephen Fox, Doug Dinwiddie, Susan Berry, Cecelia Bell, Tom Hester and attended the New Mexico State Historians conference in 2024.
