Historical Background
John Barkley Dawson, patriarch of the Dawson family, drove cattle across the American frontier from Arkansas to the mining
towns of California in 1855. In 1857 he homesteaded land in Fort Belknap, Texas, and began a business that sold cattle to
government forts, Indian agents and the distant mining towns of Colorado. Dawson blazed the trail that later became known
as the Dawson Trail. For a brief period, 1864-1865, he served as a Texas Ranger.
In 1869 Dawson and several relatives purchased 250,000 acres of land on the Vermejo River, New Mexico, from Lucien B. Maxwell.
Originally a Mexican land grant given to Judge Carlos Beaubien and Senor Guadalupe Miranda in 1844, the Maxwell land grant
was confirmed in 1860 according to the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. Over the next twenty years, Dawson developed the ranch,
stocked his range with cattle, constructed a dam and irrigation system for agriculture, and built a two-story ranch house
and numerous buildings.
Controversy arose over the exact boundries of Dawson's property once coal was discovered under much of his range. The Maxwell
Land Grant and Railway Company, an English corporation, purchased the remaining portion of Maxwell's land and engaged in an
aggressive attempt to remove squatters and lease tenants from portions of the original grant. During the 1880s, the corporation
successfully removed occupants without valid deeds of contract. In the early 1890s, the corporation filed a suit against
Dawson which was eventually decided in his favor in the United States Supreme Court in 1893.
The costs of litigation and a persistent regional drought created a financial crisis for Dawson in the 1890s. He responded
by sending his three older sons on a successful stock drive to the gold fields of the Yukon in Alaska in 1893. In 1901 he
sold all but 1250 acres of his ranch to the Dawson Fuel Company (no relation) and moved to Routt County, Colorado. There
he built another ranch and raised cattle and horses. The Colorado property also contained large deposits of coal, which Dawson
later sold to the Victor American Fuel Company in 1915. John B. Dawson died in Los Angeles, California, in 1918.
J. B. Dawson's son, Si Dawson, continued in the cattle business after the sale of the Routt County ranch. In 1918 he accepted
a position as the superintendent of a large ranch called the Fazenda Morungava, located in Brazil. He lived there with his
wife Lucy and son Henry Clay until December 1919, when he died of a ruptured appendix. His daughters Delphine and Dorothy
were preparing to visit their parents when word arrived of their father's death.
Delphine Dawson Wilson was responsible for assembling this collection of her family's papers. She began to compile information
on her family's history in 1972 and is writing a book on her grandfather J. B. Dawson.
Scope and Content of Collection
The Dawson Family Papers document aspects of the lives of several generations of the Dawson family, including John Barkley
Dawson (1830-1918) and his son Si Dawson (1870-1919). The collection includes letters written by and to Dawson family members
(1894-1947), loose photographs, photograph albums, scrapbooks, and miscellaneous items such as the Dawson Family bible. The
collection, dated 1852-1950, occupies 5.6 linear feet and is arranged in five series: 1) CORRESPONDENCE, 2) DIARIES AND SCRAPBOOKS,
3) PHOTOGRAPHS, 4) EPHEMERA, and 5) WRITINGS.
SERIES 1: CORRESPONDENCE
The first series, CORRESPONDENCE, contains letters written to various members of the Dawson Family. The most detailed group
(1894-1909) of letters was written by Si Dawson to his wife Lucy Anne McKean Dawson. Another group of letters was written
by Si to Lucy during the stock drive from New Mexico to the Yukon in Alaska in 1898. Transcriptions of these letters are
located in Series 5A. The CORRESPONDENCE series also contains letters from Lucy written to her daughters Delphine and Dorothy
and to her sister Elizabeth Howard from the Fazenda Morungava in Brazil between 1918 and 1919. She describes aspects of their
life on the ranch and her impressions of Brazilian culture, as well as the events leading up to Si's death on December 3,
1919. Transcriptions of these letters are located in Series 5A This series is arranged alphabetically by correspondent.
SERIES 2: DIARIES AND SCRAPBOOKS
The second series, DIARIES AND SCRAPBOOKS, is arranged in two subseries. The first diary, written by Si Dawson in 1897, contains
a record of travels, business transactions and reports of day-to-day occurences. Si Dawson's 1898 diary documents events
of a risky cattle drive he and two of his brothers led from New Mexico to the Yukon in Alaska. It describes in detail the
areas they visited, some of the people they encountered and problems they confronted throughout the trip. The third diary
was written in 1918 by an unidentified visitor to the Fazenda Morungava Ranch in Brazil.
Transcriptions of these diaries are located in Series 5A.
This series also contains two scrapbooks. One scrapbook (1890-1920), compiled by Della McKean Dawson (Lucy's sister), contains
a letter written to Martha McKean (Lucy and Della's mother) by her brother from an unidentified battle field during the Civil
War. This scrapbook also contains photographs of the McKean family, the Chase family, the Wilkins family and of the Dawson
ranch in Colorado. The other scrapbook, compiled by Delphine Dawson, documents her trip to Brazil in 1934.
SERIES 3: PHOTOGRAPHS
The third series, PHOTOGRAPHS, is arranged in three subseries: A) Photograph Albums, B) People and C) Places. This series
contains images of four generations (1852-1947) of Dawson family members, beginning with the parents of J. B. Dawson and extending
to J. B. Dawson's grandchildren. Also included are photographs of the ranch homes in New Mexico and Colorado, along with
the surrounding land and livestock. Photographs of the Fazenda Morungava and Sao Paolo are also found in this series.
SERIES 4: EPHEMERA
The fourth series, EPHEMERA, contains miscellaneous Dawson momentos and documents, including the Dawson family Bible, printed
in 1852. This Bible is covered in a buckskin binding that was made from the shield of an Indian chased down by J. B. Dawson
while he was a Texas Ranger. A detailed account of this incident is laid into the Bible. This series also contains a menu
for Christmas dinner in 1897 at the New Mexico ranch, several documents detailing the sale of the Dawson's land in New Mexico
to the Dawson Coal Company, and a transcript of the Supreme Court trial "The Maxwell Land Grant Company, Plaintiff in Error,
vs. John B. Dawson." This material is organized alphabetically.
SERIES 5: WRITINGS
The fifth series, WRITINGS, is arranged in three subseries: A) Transcriptions, B) Books, Drafts and Articles and C) Genealogical
Materials. Most of the material in this series, arranged alphabetically by title, is the work of Delphine Dawson Wilson,
J.B. Dawson's granddaughter and daughter of Si and Lucy Dawson.
A) The first subseries, Transcriptions, contains Delphine Dawson Wilson's transcriptions of diaries and letters found in
the collection, family papers not housed in the collection and newspaper clippings. Included are the love letters written
to Lucy Dawson from Si Dawson in 1894-1896, Si Dawson's diaries, newspaper articles and obituaries of family members. In
most instances, the transcriptions are bound and include an introduction by Delphine Dawson Wilson.
B) The second subseries, Books, Drafts and Articles, contains mostly unpublished writings by Delphine Dawson Wilson. Titles
include "An Index of Subjects from Old Mexican Newspapers, 1879-1918, "Early Western Horse Records," and "Si Dawson, Foundation
Quarter Horse Breeder." The bulk of this series, however, includes writings and research material for Delphine Dawson Wilson's
book entitled "John B. Dawson, Southwestern Cattleman and Rancher, 1830-1918." These materials are arranged by draft.
C) The third series, Genealogical Materials, contains genealogical records for the Dawson, Stout and Wilson families. Most
of the research was conducted by Delphine Dawson Wilson, but some genealogies were compiled by research firms or by other
family members. These materials are arranged alphabetically by title.
