   Yes, they did.  That was back when Disney produced worthwhile stuff, and   
   it must have been good because I can still remember it!   (old age, memory   
   ???)   
      
   So when I met a descendant of Elfego Baca in El Paso about five years ago,   
   she was surprised that I knew the name and I was surprised to find an old   
   New   
   Mexico gal alive and happy in Texas!   I'm about in the mood to go hunting   
   for a book with that story in it so I can be fresh and accurate about all   
   details!   
      
   Good story!
