	Guns Magazine: The guns of Elfego Baca (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Elfego instigated and prevailed in the dramatic three-day battle that came to be known as the "Frisco War." 1884 was a time of increasing hostilities not only between the Apaches and settlers, but also between resident Hispanics and the newcomer Texans -- Celtic-blooded ranchers seeking their own grassy grail.
		Regardless, it was this episode that earned Elfego his lifelong reputation as a tough hombre, un-impeached by his years of practice as a flamboyant criminal lawyer, school superintendent, district attorney, chief bouncer of a Prohibition Era gambling house in Juarez and his bout as the American agent for General Huerta during the Mexican revolution.
		Elfego owned and carried a number of guns throughout the course of his many careers, keeping one handy in the drawer of every desk he ever sat behind.

		Baca's omission is especially evident when compared to the fame and attention given to the mostly Anglo defenders of the Alamo in Texas.

		Baca, who apparently hobnobbed with the likes of Billy the Kid and Pancho Villa, is as legendary as that famous pair, at least in New Mexico.
		The Baca TV image (I don't even remember if Elfego wore a hat) and the theme song (something to do with nine lives) were not quite so unforgettable.
		In 1974 Baca's name and picture kept cropping up (you could say Elfego looked like a cat, a fat cat, in many of these images; you could also say he resembled a walrus) while I was researching 19th-century Albuquerque lawmen at the University of New Mexico's Zimmerman Library.

		It seems that Elfego won the respect of his adversaries; not only by his miraculous survival, but perhaps because he refused to give in even while facing likely death.

		Elfego Baca, the Old West gunfighter who later became a detective and lawyer, was one of New Mexico’s most colorful characters.
		However, his recent biographer Larry D. Ball states that while Elfego may have believed his companion was the Billy the Kid, in fact he couldn’t possibly have been.
		Elfego’s reference to seeing the Yarberry killing pins the date down to June 18, 1881, at which time the real Billy the Kid was elsewhere.
