Federico Villalba's Texas, a Mexican Pioneer in the Big Bend
by Juan Manuel Casas

This is the story of Federico Villalba who, as a young man, moved with his family from old San Gerónimo, Chihuahua in the 1880s to begin ranching near the village of San Carlos, near Lajitas, Texas. He prospered and eventually crossed over the Rio Grande to settle and ranch at Burro Mesa. There, Villalba married, built his herd of cattle and angora goats, discovered cinnebar and opened a store at Cerro Villalba (later Study Butte) and a leather goods store in Santa Elena.
