George McJunkin's Connection With Capulin Volcano National Monument

Capulin Volcano National Monument protects its namesake volcano, but it also protects Western history. Part of that history is the story of George McJunkin, who was born a slave and came to know this landscape as a talented and skilled cowboy. And he also played a role in archaeology and the "Folsom Man."
