I just moved home to Missouri in 2002. For the prior 20 years I lived in New Mexico. My job had me traveling the state, and when the Company I worked for sold out I moved to Taos. I was there that I became facinated with Lucian B. Maxwell. H was a remarkable man. He was a close friend of Kit Carson, also from that area, and John C. Fremont. I have visited Lucian's home, near Cemiron. It is now the Philmont Boy Scout Ranch. It was there that Lucian outfitted the expidetions of Kit Carson, and John Fremont. The origanel house is in very good condition. Your are related to a very great man in American history.
