State Press Comment

GEORGE McJUNKIN 

  Attorney E.C.Crampton says George McJunkin, Negro cowboy and on-time foreman at the XYZ ranch near Folsom, should get the credit for the first discovery of the bones that led to the important archaeological discovery of the Folsom Man.
  Crampton's comment was prompted by a piece in this column the other day about Father Stanley's Folsom story in El Palacio.
  Father Stanley was no napping on this one.  I hurried back to look up the piece and found this:
  "...While Harold Cook gives credit for the discovery to two Raton men, Dr. Brown credits, at least partially, George McJunkin, the former colored foreman of the XYZ ranch just outside of the town of Folsom.  Riding the range in the 90's, this very talented Negro discovered a large deposit of bones exposed near the Dry Cimarron river.  He pondered their age and entombment and talked so much about them that after several years someone mentioned them to the Colorado Museum of National History.  For a time not even the museum seemed interested..."  --Raton Range.
