Notes for JOHN SIMPSON CHISUM:

John Simpson Chisum was born on August 15, 1824 at Hardeman, Tennessee. In 1867, Chisum and his brother Pitzer moved to New Mexico with a large herd of cattle and built a huge ranch at Bosque Grande, in Lincoln County. James and Jeff Chisum joined their brothers John and Pitzer at the ranch shortly thereafter. In 1873, Chisum created another ranch 18 miles south of Fort Sumner, in San Miguel County. Then in 1875, Chisum started another ranch at South Spring, a few miles from the Pecos River and near the Seven Rivers area and present-day Roswell, again in Lincoln County. In the same year, he was forced to sell most of his stock holdings as well as the Bosque Grande Ranch to the cattle contracting firm of Hunter & Evans. However, he stayed on at the Bosque Grande Ranch as a manager, so basically nothing changed for him in his daily life. Chisum became a very hated man by the smaller ranchers in Seven Rivers, due to the fact that the massive Chisum herds were using all the public domain land for grazing. His herds were constantly stolen by the likes of the Jessie Evans Gang, the John Kinney Gang, and most of all, the Seven Rivers Warriors. This also caused Chisum to grow to hate the monoplozing L. G. Murphy (later Jas. J. Dolan) & Co., because they bought his stolen cattle. In 1876, Chisum started yet another ranch, this one in Sulphur Springs, Arizona. In 1877, Chisum and his brothers fought against the local rustling gangs in what was later called the War on the Pecos. Before the start of the Lincoln County War, Old John went into business with John Tunstall and Alex McSween and became the president of Tunstall's Firt National Bank on Lincoln. During the war, Chisum was able to avoid being near the actual gunfights through a few of his schemes. However, after Tunstall was killed and the avenging posse known as the Regulators were formed, Chisum did loan the Regulators his Hunter & Evans cattle detective Frank MacNab. His large South Spring Ranch often served as a hideout for the Regulators as well. After the war, Billy the Kid asked Chisum to pay him $500 for his services in the war. When Chisum refused, Billy decided to take the money Chisum owed him out of his cattle, allegedly figuring that each cow was worth $5 of the $500 Chisum owed him. Billy and the Rustlers stole hundreds of head of cattle from Chisum. Chisum was one of Billy's and the Rustlers' biggest enemies after the war and was mainly the reason that Pat Garrett became sheriff of Lincoln County. In summer of 1884, Chisum started growing a neck tumor and had to go to Kansas City, Missouri, where surgeory was performed on his neck on July 17. The tumor wasn't completely removed though, and in the fall of 1884 went to Eureka Springs, Arkansas, hoping the baths there would cure him of his tumor. It didn't work as he planned, however, and Chisum died of the neck tumor at Eureka Springs on December 22, 1884, with his body being buried in Paris, Texas shortly thereafter. After his death, his cattle empire throughout New Mexico and Arizona collapsed and was completely gone by 1891.

 

 

 

 

Chisum was a Texas bachelor in his early thirties. However, there were rumors, later proved to be true, that he had a love affair and two daughters by a mulatto slave girl.  He had purchased her for $1400 from some emigrants bound for California. Jensie was an excellent housekeeper and cook, only fifteen and beautiful. At the outbreak of the Civil War, Chisum freed all his slaves, including her. He then put her and the girls in a home in Bonham, Texas and left funds for their needs.

He blazed the historic Chisum Trail from the little town of Paris, Texas, where his cattle herd was first begun, across the desert of Texas then north to the Pecos Valley in southeastern New Mexico. Tales have varied about how many cattle were in the drive in 1867 when he took them to Fort Sumner. Some say 600, some say 900. Author Georgia B. Redfield in an article in The Cattleman about 1942, describes the trip
