• Notes

  ********** Frank wrote a series of articles that were published in the Santa Fe Magazine. The following is an introduction to this series written by the editor of the magazine. Fifty years ago on March 8, 1881, the Santa Fe track was completed to Deming, N.M., and a connection was made with the Southern Pacific Railroad at 5:30 p.m. on that day for points in Arizona and California. Frank C. Monroe, the venerable writer of the interesting series, "Reminiscences of the Santa Fe Frontier," which begins in this issue, was connected with the company from 1880 to 1888, his father being one of the original contractors engaged in building the road across the western mountains and plains. He wrote these articles in the belief that they would be appreciated by the old-timers still in the service or on the pension roll, and also "to show the chronic kickers we have with us always that the lot now before them is not half so hard at they imagine it to be." We heartily recommend this series of articles to our readers. -- The Editors ********** Several articles written by Franck C. Monroe are held in the Clan Munro files. They form a sort of diary of his life working for the railroad. Compiled and edited by Allen Alger, Genealogist, Clan Munro Association, USA [2]
