The Guadalupe Mountains were one of the last strongholds for a warrior tribe and they had been fighting for nearly three centuries to preserve their lands.

J.C., a trustworthy and energetic businessman in the early 20th century, wore many hats including being a Superintendent of Schools for Van Horn County, as well as director/vice president at his local bank, The Van Horn State Bank. In addition, he was a leader in spearheading park initiatives to preserve land.

It is believed that the first people to inhabit The Guadalupe Mountains were part of a nomadic herders' society who traveled from place to place in search of fresh grasslands.
