These essays cover historical aspects of Raton from earliest settlers listed in chronological order with background information; establishment of the first telephone(s); the Stockton Gang; gambling and dancing debarred in Raton; and a bet based on a petition. Three essays have "American Guide" typed at the top, one has "Pioneer" typed at the top, leading to the supposition that the pieces were published in publications by those names.
