Send us a text and chime in!The Town of Chino Valley, Arizona, in partnership with the Trust for Public Land (TPL), has acquired a 23-acre historic property known as the "Fred Harvey Farm." This acquisition is part of a larger effort to protect nearly 1,000 acres at the headwaters of the Verde River and establish a new state park. The former farm, once owned by a subsidiary of the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railroad and operated by the Fred Harvey Company, holds significant historical value, having supplied food to their hotels along the railway. The preserved buildings will offer insights into early Arizona history and the Fred Harvey Company's role in it. This purchase ensures the preservation of the land's history, protects the waters of the Verde River, and will allow for public enjoyment and educational opportunities, recognizing the cultural importance of the area to Indigenous tribes. TPL facilitated the acquisition through partnerships and funding, securing the property at a reduced cost.You can read the entire article here: https://www.signalsaz.com/articles/chino-valley-acquires-historic-fred-harvey-farm/Check out the CAST11.com Website at: https://CAST11.com Follow the CAST11 Podcast Network on Facebook at: https://Facebook.com/CAST11AZFollow Cast11 Instagram at: https://www.instagram.com/cast11_podcast_network

Into the Canyon with Mary Colter by Dr. Barbara ten Brink​The work of the Atchison, Topeka, Santa Fe Railroad, the work of the Fred Harvey Company, and the talent and brilliance of Mary Colter formed a “perfect storm” to complete their many building projects along the Western Ho movement from her first hire in 1902 until her retirement in 1948. Please know that my book, Into the Canyon with Mary Colter, is a work of fiction. Cassidy Powell is a fictious character based on my family's history in Brownfield and Lubbock, Texas. Her exploits and conversations are fictious to entertain my readers, to weave a story, and to connect the true and famous men and women she meets along her journey and you find among these pages. To help clarify fact from fiction, the reader will find single quotation marks within the text for historically correct quotes and citations to facts in the Author's Notes."They agreed to go immediately to the precipice and Zen for a moment at Desert View. They sat on giant boulders at its very ledge above the sheer cliff face that dropped thousands of feet into the river valley of the Western Colorado River. From this vantage, they looked West into the Painted Desert and sat silent, meditative, banking the inspiration which had been the motivation for their trip to the Ruins, and stared into the most glorious sunset for an extremely long time. Without conversation, the women reflected on the richness of the day's events and the direction each would take from this pivotal moment."And to quote Mary Colter's own letters, ‘In the meantime, as for a long time past, I am your very sincere friend and happy passenger, Mary Elizabeth Jane Colter'In her career as Science Coordinator for the State of Texas at Texas Education Agency, Dr. Barbara ten Brink was invited by Texas A&M University to participate in a two-week geological field trip by charter but through Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, and Arizona. This field trip introduced her and hundreds of other science teachers to the American Southwest and to the architecture of Mary Colter.https://www.amazon.com/Into-Canyon-Colter-Young-Adult-Biographies/dp/B0BKS5RM9Fwww.authorbarbaratenbrink.com   https://mainspringbooks.comhttp://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/1523msb1.mp3   

I had a delightful chat with historical romance author, Tracie Peterson, a couple of weeks ago, and boy did I learn some cool stuff!  Listen in to find out what prompted Tracie to write about trains and New Mexico and just what horned toads have to do with any of it.  She even gives us a sneak peek into what's coming next!  Hint: it involves "brownies," freezing people (we presume), and gold! Note: links may be affiliate links that provide me with a small commission at no extra expense to you. When You've Written This Many Books, You're Sure to Be a Favorite Tracie Peterson has been one of my favorite authors for years. I knew I'd read her books since at least the early days of this century, but when she said 1995, I knew I'd probably read every one of those first books, too.  Though her first love might be Jesus, her first writing love is definitely historical fiction with romance, adventure, and maybe a little intrigue to boot! As with many historical authors, research consumes a lot of her time. Find out which books involved her going to a trick riding school and how a book about a "horny-toad man" helped her write the Love on the Santa Fe series! In addition to chatting about her books, we also discussed the writing process. And even better, about the wonderful letters from readers.. Tracie Peterson is one prolific writer with over a hundred thirty books to her name! There's sure to be something for everyone, wouldn't you say? Beyond the Desert Sands by Tracie Peterson Can she reconcile who she's become with who she's meant to be? Accustomed to an opulent life with her aunt, the last thing twenty-five-year-old Isabella Garcia wants is to celebrate Christmas in her parents' small silver-mining desert town, leaving her handsome beau, Diego Morales, behind in California. Adding insult to injury, she must bear the company of Aaron Bailey, the disapproving Santa Fe Railroad businessman her father has sent to escort her home, who clearly finds her spoiled. But she is surprised to see how much the town of Silver Veil has grown and how fragile her father's health has become. Then a surprise visitor shows up with news that entirely upends the comfortable life she's been leading. Faced with all these changes, Isabella struggles to sort through her future and who she wants to be. But trouble is brewing, and there are those who hope she stays just as she is, even if it costs her everything. You can preorder the eBook and audiobook from Amazon or you can get the hardback or paperback from BakerBookHouse.com. Find out more about Tracie Peterson and her books on her WEBSITE.

The Linda Vista Hospital was first established in 1904 as the Santa Fe Coastlines Hospital, a prospering healthcare facility dedicated to servicing employees of the Santa Fe Railroad. During the early decades of the 20th century, the hospital flourished as did Los Angeles' surrounding Boyle Heights neighborhood. East LA was slowly transformed into a less affluent area, and the number of violent crimes escalated. Lowered funding at the hospital resulted in less staff to treat the influx of patients; as a consequence, the hospital's death toll rose.By the 1970s and '80s, the gangs of East LA sent a steady stream of gunshot wounds and stabbings through Linda Vista's ER doors. The neighborhood was getting worse, as was the survival rate of patients admitted.In 1991 the last patient checked out of Linda Vista.While the hospital is no longer in operation, some have told stories of the various hauntings that take place on the grounds themselves. Since the hospital's closure, many paranormal experts were known to spend the night here in hopes of catching whatever evidence they could find for paranormal activity. It had become a hotbed of ghostly activity for quite some time on account of the number of patient deaths that have occurred over the years.

Back in the late 1870s, the owner of the Santa Fe Railroad, William Barstow Strong, and the owner of the Rio Grande Railroad, General William Jackson Palmer, found themselves at war. Historian John Sedgwick, author of the new book “From the River to the Sea: The Untold Story of the Railroad War that Made the West,” joins Russell and Alan to talk about what took place as these two powerhouses fought over land and money.

As Dodge City was made by the Santa Fe Railroad, Fort Dodge was made by the Santa Fe Trail. Fort Dodge, established in 1865, was a part of the series of early frontier forts that made the settlement of the west possible by protecting travelers along the Santa Fe Trail. Thus, Fort Dodge has historical significance but has never been comprehensively evaluated for its eligibility to be placed on the National Historic Register. Of the three military installations in Kansas established to protect the Santa Fe Trail (including Fort Leavenworth established in 1827 and Fort Larned established in 1859), Fort Dodge remains the only fort not protected by Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. Unfortunately, this means that Fort Dodge buildings and cultural resources still lie unprotected. It is time for Fort Dodge to have its place in history and be protected by the National Parks Service as a National Historic Site. This show features Connie Penick, who currently serves as the Secretary of the Board of Directors for the Ford County Historical Society and is the Committee chair of the Preservation of Fort Dodge Focus group. To receive updated progress on developments for the preservation of Fort Dodge, you can join the Facebook page at PreserveFtDodge. In addition, you can learn more about the history of Fort Dodge by going to The History of Fort Dodge. 

The Tale of Two Gunfights and One Crazy Mule is an authentic story base on the first-person account of Emanuel Dubbs. Emanuel Dubbs's story takes place on August 20, 1871, when he arrives in Newton, Kansas. The story opens when Dubbs and his wife enter town-witnessing excitement in the streets. Dubbs takes it upon himself to explore a recent Hyde Park gunfight between Mike McCluskie, a burly local man who had worked in Newton as a night watchman, and a Texan named Billy Bailey. Dubs and his wife do not stay long in Newton, and Dubbs takes a job grading track for the Santa Fe Railroad. Then, during the spring of 1872, Dubs traveled with Mr. Wiley to the Arkansas River. Mr. Wiley, a head contractor, and Dubbs were to scout out a location for a new supply depot. Dubbs riding on his favorite mule named Marie, travel up the line from Fort Larned over what was then known as the Dry Ridge trail. They came off the trail in sight of the beautiful Arkansas valley about two miles above where old Fort Dodge stood. Dubbs describes the panorama view just minutes before he charges down an embankment to shoot a buffalo.After completing his work for the railroad, Dubbs decides to take in buffalo hunting, and while in Dodge City, he encounters a lawless character by the name of Billy Brooks. During this encounter, he witnesses a revenge gunfight between two Berry brothers from Hayes City over the killing of their brother.  

In  March 1960, Bakersfield was the site of an awful railroad tragedy. A passenger train collided with a truck hauling highly flammable oil product. 14 people were killed and 64 more were injured.  While this train accident was an awful tragedy, what I discovered in my research, was Bakersfield's response to this crisis was nothing less than inspirational. 

Good Morning, Colorado, you’re listening to the Daily Sun-Up. It’s Wednesday April 21st, and even though there’s a lot of turmoil right now we’re feeling lucky to start the day with you.   Today - the Suncor Refinery is one of Colorado’s biggest polluters. And now, as the refinery’s re-permitting hearings approach, some activists are calling for it to be shut down entirely.    But before we begin, let’s go back in time with some Colorado history adapted from historian Derek R Everett’s book “Colorado Day by Day”:   Today, we take you back to April 21st, 1879 when the supreme court reached a decision regarding a dispute between railroads over the royal gorge in Fremont county. The Denver & Rio Grande Railroad was considered the most obvious candidate for the market, but they were running out of capital. So their competition, the Atchinson, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad decided they’d like to secure the market for themselves. After sabotage and violence the D&RG ultimately won the market.   Now, our feature story.   Suncor Refinery in Commerce City is one of Colorado’s major polluters. Much of that is sanctioned through air pollution permits issued by the state. But activists and locals argue the emissions are beyond what is necessary, and some say the oil and gas refinery should shut down altogether. Reporter Michael Booth talks with Lucy Haggard about what may come in the refinery’s re-permitting hearings next month.   To read more about air quality in Colorado, go to coloradosun.com.    And Before we go, here are a few stories that you should know about today:   The trial of former Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin concluded Tuesday, with the jury ruling Chauvin guilty of two murder charges and one manslaughter charge. Chauvin pinned George Floyd, a Black man, to the ground with his knee on Floyd’s neck for more than nine minutes. The incident last summer sparked outrage and renewed calls for racial justice. It also resulted in a sweeping police accountability bill that passed the Colorado legislature. Black leaders across Colorado expressed relief at the verdict Tuesday, but said there is still much work to be done. https://coloradosun.com/2021/04/20/derek-chauvin-guilty-george-floyd/    Coloradans who have been vaccinated against coronavirus are at least 90% less likely to develop COVID-19 than those who have not been vaccinated. State health officials said Tuesday that just 819 coronavirus cases out of the 106,965 occurring since January 21 were people who were fully immunized. Even partial vaccination, that is, receiving just one dose of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines, provides about 66% protection against the virus. The state opened three of its mass vaccination clinics to walk-up appointments Tuesday to make it easier for Coloradans to get inoculated. https://coloradosun.com/2021/04/20/how-covid-vaccine-effective-colorado/    Since 2012 Colorado has been an island of legal recreational marijuana sales amid states with medical-only laws or none at all. Many businesses in border towns like Trinidad, Antonito and San Luis have capitalized on the illegal but frequent phenomenon of weed tourism. But New Mexico legalized recreational cannabis this month, and federal legislators are discussing legalization or decriminalization of the Schedule 1 controlled substance. Now Colorado towns that have benefited from the boom are preparing for inevitable declines in tax revenue as pot shops open across the border. Meanwhile, prospective New Mexico shop owners say they hope to capture customers before they cross the state line.    For more information on all of these stories, visit our website, www.coloradosun.com.

All Aboard! It's train time on this episode of Galaxy Moonbeam Night Site! We are joined by train aficionado Mike Curran, who shares his extensive knowledge of both real and model trains. Mike recalls his days growing up when his dad worked on the Santa Fe Railroad, sharing details of earlier trains and how they operated, and what it was like to be aboard them. He also shares his knowledge of model train collecting, the different scales, types, accessories, and layouts that were found back in the day. Mike Curran's unique knowledge in all facets of trains, real or model, makes him a great resource for those who share the fascination of trains and train travel.

Gunsmoke was set in Dodge City, Kansas between 1872, when the Santa Fe Railroad reached town, and 1885, when local farmers forced the end of the Texas cattle drives along the Western Trail. Dodge City, known as the "Queen of the Cow Towns," the "Wicked Little City," the "Gomorrah of the Plains," had a reputation as a hostile, lawless town where the "fastest gun" ruled. As the opening of the show proclaimed: "Around Dodge City and in the territory on west, there's just one way to handle the killers and the spoilers and that's with a U.S. Marshal and the smell of gunsmoke." That marshall, Matt Dillon, was modeled after the real lawmen who "tamed" (or at least kept a lid on) Dodge City: US Deputy Marshall Wyatt Earp (1848-1929), Sheriff Bat Masterson (1856-1921), Sheriff Bill Tilghman (1854-1924), and Sheriff Charlie Bassett.
