The Old West in New Mexico NMPBS 26 min - Apr 26, 2007 A colorful history lesson about frontier New Mexicos unofficial town hall -- the saloon. This COLORES! travels back in time to profile three of New Mexicos most famous watering holes and the historical events that took place around and within them. The events that unfold help us better understand the history of New Mexico. We learn of mining, apache wars and melodrama at the Buckhorn in Pinos Altos. We also learn about the Wild West gunfights that occurred at the infamous St. James Hotel in Cimarron and stories of the Mexican revolution featuring Benito Juarezs dramatic speech at the Double Eagle in Mesilla as he rallied Mexican exiles to join him in fighting for independence. Originally broadcast on New Mexico PBS station KNME.
