Videos de Terlingua -- Suggested by Manuel Esquivel

From: Manuel Esquivel  To: Antonio Franco  Date: Oct 24, 2009 7:07 PM

As I mentioned before my father Miguel Gonzalez Esquivel and my mother Regina Villalba Esquivel lived there in Terlingua Tejas a long time ago.  I was born in Terlingua 1927-- maybe somebody knew my parents.

My mother used to tell us stories of what was happening in Terlingua during those years and that it was a time of very hard years very poor times.  See (Villa De La mina in Terlingua) there is a video there of  what Terlingua used to look like then.  If somebody is interested  get the book ( Big Bend Country)Land of the Unexpected by author (Kenneth B. Ragsdale) -- good reading.

West Texas Odyssey -- by Thomas W. Wilson
"Travelers experience the sublime isolation of the west Texas desert while encountering spectacular weather phenomena, the visual splendor of autumnal cottonwood trees, and the romanticism of melancholy ruins."  A video by Tom Wilson of a trip among Marfa, Fort Davis, and Alpine Texas primarily shot along Texas Highways 17, 118, and 166 in the Davis Mountains area.



Charlie Rodríguez el Vaquero de Fort Davis
Carlos "Charlie" Rodriguez is the son of Blas and Librada Villalba Rodriguez. Click here to see Librada. Librada is the sister of Federico Villalba whose story is told in the book "Federico Villalba's Texas: A Mexican Pioneer's Life in the Big Bend." Juan Manuel Casas
"Charlie Rodriguez got his start as a cowboy when he was five or six on the Kokernot 06 Ranch in Fort Davis, Texas, where his grandfather was the main boss. It was there he developed a passion for rodeo and roping. At 83, he's still chasing his dreams. This film was shown in Elko, NV, as part of the Deep West Video program at the National Cowboy Poetry Gathering."

Trail of the Tarantula
a video by T.W. Wilson
The mysterious west Texas desert provides a setting for experiencing the poignancy of the Terlingua Cemetery, the scenic grandeur of the Davis Mountains, and the quiet dignity of Fort Davis National Historic Site. An affable tarantula will be your guide.
