Elfuego Baca held off 80 drunken cowboys for 36 hours. Over 4000 rounds of ammunition was spent. He said he did it to show there was one Mexican who was not afraid of the cowboys from Texas. Gawd, I loved that Disney two part special on Elfuego from the late 50s or early 69s!!!! Anyone else remember that. Old black and white, I think. Anyway, that was in Reserve, where the cowboys from Texas in my family came in the late 1880's.
