Tucumcari Mountain
"Tucumcari Mountain has long been a landmark for travelers along the Canadian River. Pedro Vial mentioned it in 1793, while opening a trail between Santa Fe and St. Louis. In order to find the best route from Arkansas to California, Capt. Randolph B. Marcy led an expedition past here in 1849." Tucumcari - "This area was troubled by both Comanches and Comancheros, New Mexicans who traded illegally with the Indians, until the military campaigns of 1874. With the coming of the railroad in 1898, the small communities of Liberty , 8 miles to the north, moved here to form the nucleus of Tucumcari, which was incorporated in 1908." (- Historical marker outside of Tucumcari). |
