Subject: [UTAH] Book: Trouble in New Mexico

Hello List:

I want to thank everyone who responded to my request for information about the referenced set of books. I was looking for information from the books on men by the name of Bell (who was from TX) , Bottoms of Cimarron, NM, Berry, and Harrison from Cimarron, NM. I had found Edward C. Berry in a volume that I viewed while traveling in TX.

It seems the 3 volume set is available for purchase; and as the following shows it only covers people whose name begins with A, B, C, C, or E, and as it says, unlikely that any further work was done. Since I found Berry in the book that had the 'B' letter of the alphabet, I looked for Bell and Bottoms in that book and they weren't there. And alas, the author never got to Harrison.

Should anyone have access to these books (I'm not inclined to purchase the set knowing fairly certain my information is not there on the fellows whose names begin with B and $75.00 is big bucks to try to find Harrison) I would appreciate your checking the books to see if there is anything there (just for the heck of it).

Again, thanks to all who responded.
