Museum Catalog Note *The Marauder of the Mimbres* by William G. Patten features two storylines. The main narrative begins in Silver City during an Apache uprising led by Geronimo, where settlers brace for attack. A mysterious outlaw known as Red Hand, leader of a gang operating from the Mimbres Mountains, commits robberies across ranches in New Mexico, Arizona, and Mexico. A secondary encounter occurs when two cowboys—Hurricane Hal (dark-eyed) and Maverick Mat (blonde)—confront an arrogant young cavalry lieutenant named Cranston in the town street, refusing to yield to his saber-drawn threats; other cowboys intervene and the outnumbered officer retreats. The narrative also introduces Old True Blue, a trapper and scout, and Zeb Horn, a veteran miner, who discuss the Indian danger and Zeb's family in Eden Pocket, including his daughter Kate, whom he hopes to educate before marriage.
