The name,
Los Ciboleros, is reminiscent of the days of the Mexican and
Navajo buffalo hunters on the plains of Texas. The historic
Ciboleros buffalo hunters began coming into the Caprock of
Texas near Norton, New Mexico, in large numbers , from 1700 to
1875. The hunters used a trail west of the Deaf Smith County
line, and proceeded eastward on the ridge between Tierra
Blanca and Palo Duro Creeks, straight down the ridge to
Hereford. At times, the Ciboleros used the bow and arrow, but
often the lance was used to quickly kill enough buffalo to
supply their season's food.
The
National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution
is a non-profit, non-political, worldwide service organization
formed in 1890, that is devoted to promoting Historic
Preservation, Education, and Patriotic Endeavor. By joining
DAR, you will give something back to the United States of
America. It is a way to keep American and family histories
alive. It gives women a straight path to conservation,
education, and women's accomplishments. The DAR gives
expression to the concepts of God, Home, and Country.
Membership in the DAR is a unique chance to establish your
lineage and heritage as a descendant of a patriot of the
American Revolution.
We meet the
second Thursday of the month and would like the opportunity to
extend membership to ladies who qualify through their
patriotic heritage.
