Sculpture of Padre Antonio José Martínez in Taos Plaza. Martínez was born in Abiquiu in 1793. He became a parish priest in Taos in the 1820s. He witnessed the tumultuous transition from Spanish colony to Mexican territory to American territory. In terrms of work drama, Martínez went head to head with Archbishop Lamy. Evidently, Lamy didn't appreciate Martínez' criticism, because he excommunicated him in 1858.
I am not sure who put a pumpkin (or gourd) on his head. Wasn't me.

Elizabethtown’s heyday was short-lived and intense. The post office opened early in the summer of 1868. There were 3,000 men working gold claims within one year. Prospectors built cabins on top of, or adjacent to, their mines. There were a couple of hotels, five stores, seven saloons, a brewery, three dance halls, two churches, a school, a flour depot, and a drugstore by 1869. The saloons boasted dance floors, gaming tables, and bars that were 100-200 feet long.
