Pinacate Campmates‪.‬

As in great fiction and film, many of life's supporting cast prove to be memorable in their own right. We may find Queequeg in Moby Dick, Ma Joad in The Grapes of Wrath, the bandit leader in Treasure of the Sierra Madre, or Mammy in Gone with the Wind as interesting as we do the central characters. Here's a second look at some of the role-players in William T. Hornaday's Camp-Fires on Desert and Lava and Carl Lumholtz's New Trails in Mexico. Even though they had secondary roles in the expeditions, they were locally prominent, sought out for their knowledge, or selected for their abilities. Hornaday's trip included Jeff Milton, Godfrey Sykes, Frank Cole, Rube Daniels, and John Phillips. Among others, Lumholtz met Juan Caravajales, Quelele, "Doctor" Pancho, Alberto Celaya, Clemente, Judge Traino Quiroz, and Jose Juan. Here, in hopes of according these characters a more respected place in Pinacate history, we share what we've subsequently learned about them, even though much of it remains fragmentary. Celaya has his own chapter elsewhere in this journal, and Sykes his in the summer issue. HORNADAY EXPEDITION
