Discuss History

Discuss historical events of the Terlingua area or events that affected the Terlingua area.

This will include discussions of
The Big Picture which can be events far away that shaped life here;
The Local Picture which would be about events that happened in the area;
The Picture Taking itself too can be discussed. That is, there can be discussions about history itself, the validity of the oral traditions, stories that families hand down about their history, documented research, relating events based on government documents, church documents, business documents, and even personal documents.
