Aultman Photograph Collection
n.d. Aultman Photograph Collection; El Paso Public Library, Southwest Room, Special Collection, (Collection of historic photographs by various photographers Autlman, contemporaries and earlier photographers – images of El Paso area) Research note: check for Hueco Tanks (See: El Paso Times, Oct. 27, 1935; page 1-B, col. 4, included an photo from the Aultman Photo Co.).  Aultman Collection was examined and photocopies of it were filed. There are photographs that specially are identified as Hueco Tanks. However, many other photos are simply identified as "pictographs/petroglyphs" (the latter includes three photos that are identified in the catalog as Hueco Tanks. (1) Identified as Hueco Tanks include A5995 (date/photographer unknown) photo of cliff overhang with large serpent motif. (2) B583 (also 0635) of water hole, bottom inscription reads: Hueco Tanks, F.C. Hecox, 321 Mesa Dr. (3) A5251(date/photographer unknown) entitled Hueco Tanks, early century; (4) A1121 (also B987) of Hueco Tanks; (5) A2277 of Hueco Tanks; (6) A2827 (also B100). In addition there are two photographs of the "Caves at Cornudas) - photos B562 and B563. There are many other photos identified as petrogylphs/pictographs of North America that definitely include some or all of Hueco Tanks (825-832; 913-916). No. 1211 seems (with mortar holes in rock seems to be Hueco. The value of these pictures (although date not recorded) shows the destruction since they were taken (especially of 2827 with serpent motif).

"Shot a couple before breakfast." One the way to Cornudas. "The soil is very barren, and in many places was covered with saline incrustations" (page 61). (p. 63): November 12, down steep mountainside in the Hueco Mts. on the way to Hueco Tanks. Had to chain the wheels (for brakes coming down the pass).  Reached "Waco Tanks." -- "There were holes and polls [ponds?] In the many [?] rocks where the water collects itself? (p. 64). November 5, El Paso. "I attended the old church at El Paso". "...formerly contained some choice painting by Marello [must be Murillo] but that Col. Doniphan has plundered the church and cut these beautiful pictures from their frames and taken away. What a sacrifice!" [Houser note: it highly unlikely that any Murillo paintings existed at the Pass of the North, but copies are possible. Anyway Guadalupe Mission was plundered as well as the archives in El Paso del Norte].

He and his band, a group of thirty-four, sprang into limelight on their recent visit to the Dallas Centennial Fair, when at the conclusion of President Roosevelt's address and as he departed from the Cotton Bowl on the occasion of his visit to Texas, June 12th, he was presented with a peacock Head-Dress by Adelantado Cleofas Calleros and inducted into the tribe as Honorary Cacique.

Joseph P. Lynch, D.D., Bishop of Dallas was invested with the honorary title of "Fraile". Pages 10-11: Two others, Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt and Miss Sarah Gertrude Knott, executive secretary of the National Folk Festival Association, were given the titles of "honorary squaws". -- Page 11: "The Tiguas have also conferred honorary titles on the following for extraordinary tribal services: Celofás Calleros, honorary adelantado; Joseph I. Driscoll, honorary historiador; Leslie Ree, honorary Indio-procurador; Charels J. Perry, honorary fotógrafo; and Marjorie F. Graham, honorary India."

The following is from the typed notes from the interview: "Mr. Coles recalls Borglum's visit to El Paso, but does not recall details. He remembers that he drove his mother and Borglum around the El Paso area so he could see the sights, especially the Bird's eye views of El Paso such as the scenic drive. He [Mr. Coles] said that he felt very honored to have the opportunity to meet Borglum and to drive him in the car to see the town. He said that there was another lady on the trip with them but he does not recall her name or anything about her. He has no family correspondence or photos. -- He said his father was a very close friend of Judge McGill... -- He said that his family was close to Mrs. Radford. He recalled that she came from Missouri. -- Mr. Coles was born in 1909 and was 23 at the time (1934). [Research note: Francis McKee Hays told Houser that Mr. Coles owned much of the Franklin Mts].

Dexter, Henry L.
1855  “Our artist is at present up the river 80 to 100 miles from here.” (Dexter Papers, letter addressed to “Mr. Dearest Sister,” Ysleta, El Paso County, Oct. 1, 1855, loaned by W.H. Timmons: photocopy of transcripts in N.P. Houser Research File).

1857  Research note: Henry Dexter wants his sister Mary to send a likeness of all the family: “I cannot send mine to them all, even if they asked it, as we have no resident artist and I have to wait, sometimes 4 to 5 years for a Yankee Pedler [sic Peddler] to take daugerres [sic]” (Houser note: daugeres refers to daguerreotype images) (Dexter Papers, one typed page, addressed to “Dear Mary,” Ysleta, July 1, 1857. "Letter of Henry Larson Dexter, Isleta [Ysleta], Texas, Sept. 24, 1857: "Having occasion yesterday to ride some 15 miles on business, I stumbled just at twilight upon an Ambro operator. [next paragraph] It was getting dark and having no time to change dress or compose the working suit I wore, I hastily dismounted, took a seat and you perceive the result. [next paragraph] Many objections may be raised. It contains varous imperfections, but on the whole I think it is a better picture than yours. The one you sent me appears to more like the the old-fashioned portrait cut from paper by scissors than like a modern miniature. If our frontiersmen take the palm from your city artists -- you may as well shut up shot." From the Dextper papers,  loaned by W.H. Timmons: photocopy of transcripts in N.P. Houser research files).
