Thank you for your series Mr. Martinez. I’ve learned so much after catching up on all your video lectures. You are a national treasure!

Thanks for the summary of the Santa Fe Ring. I like the way you linked it, conceptually, with similar and more known northern carpetbaggers in the US South.

Thank you very much for your time and expertise. The results from “the ring” had lasting effects on local hispanos. And leads me to believe this may be one of thre reasons why my grandparents and great grandparents moved to flagstaff in early 1900’s.

Great information. Been following Billy the kid history for years but never come across the ring until recently. Just shows how the rich get more corrupted by money.

Things get bad when the Americans show up. Still the same…
