replies: text: All the info was from The Old West: The Gunfighters, Paul Trachtman, (Time Life Books; 1974). If you can do better then please do so. But simply leaving a stupid and less than helpful remark is not going to improve the article. Which parts are incorrect? Instead of complaining why don't you get to work. --mav 20:30, 30 Aug 2003 (UTC)

text: It's overheated in tone, almost pulpish, and deficient in providing proper context.  You can't understand why the sides of Tunstall and Dolan came to blows, for example, and the entries of important players like the U.S. cavalry are left here as a complete mystery.  It doesn't explain how it really ended, or what the fallout was, and gives too much heed to trivialities like the proper nickname of a minor player like Dave Rudabaugh.  It's also biased towards the Regulators, not only in coverage but in content: for instance, because of competing judges and officers just about everybody participating in the war had been deputized by somebody, and just about everybody had a warrant against him issued by somebody.  That ought to be mentioned and explained, but instead the Regulators' murdering of a guy like Andrew Roberts is partly ameliorated by the article noting they were serving out warrants, while comparable actions like the Seven Rivers cowboys' killing McSween at the Five Days' Battle are not.  71.129.81.136 19:33, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

"The U.S. Forest Service (FS) has a long, shared history with the Spanish and Mexican land grants of northern New Mexico. The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, which ended the war between the United States and Mexico, was supposed to recognize and respect the property rights of the resident Hispano population. In many cases the intent of the Treaty was not honored. During the land grant adjudication processes after U.S. conquest of the region in 1848, much community land from these grants was declared public domain, eventually becoming part of the northern New Mexico national forests. Other grant lands went into private ownership and were later sold to the government. While some fraudulent claims were rejected, many legitimate claims were also rejected. Claims from families who had farmed and ranched their land for generations were denied because of lost, incomplete, or inconsistent documents (Eastman, 1991). Some villagers lost confirmed land because they were unable to pay land taxes under the American system of monetary payments. Land grant loss remains an issue of bitter controversy." 2601:280:4C80:F030:2524:59D8:6A77:26C5 (talk) 18:36, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
