SUMMARY:Hispanic Genealogical Research Center of NM Speaker Series: Jack R Fox
DESCRIPTION:10:30 – 12:00 pm \nNHCC | Dominici Education Building / Rooms 122-124 \nThe Hispanic Genealogical Research Center of New Mexico welcomes Retired New Mexico Army National Guard Brigadier General Jack R. Fox for our October HGRC Speaker Series. General Fox will lead a discussion on “The Rough Riders of New Mexico\,” a nickname given to the 1st U.S. Volunteer Calvery Legendary Cowboy Regiment. The Men who served had to already have knowledge and experience capable on horseback and in shooting. One Half the unit came from New Mexico and recruited by Commander Theodore Roosevelt. Las Vegas\, New Mexico celebrates with a museum about “The Rough Riders of New Mexico” as the first regiments gathering place in 1899. \n“On June 24\, 1899\, on the one-year anniversary of the Battle of Las Gusaimas\, about a hundred soldiers who called themselves the Rough Riders gathered together to celebrate victory in the Spanish-American War. Where they gathered wasn’t as important as why.  But when it came time to organize such an event only one Old West town seemed appropriate: Las Vegas. \nYes\, Las Vegas. \nOnly this was not the Las Vegas built in the middle of the Nevada desert. That town’s reputation was still several decades away. \nNo\, this was the City of Las Vegas in the New Mexico territory.”         \n– By Ken Zurski

SUMMARY:Hispanic Genealogical Research Center of NM Speaker Series: Dr. Richard Melzer
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, March 14\, 2026\n10:30 am – 12:00 pm \nNHCC | Dominici Education Building. Rm.122-124 \nPlease join the Hispanic Genealogical Research Center of New Mexico for the next speaker series featuring Dr. Richard Melzer. Dr. Melzer is a retired Professor of History with the University of New Mexico’s Valencia Campus\, and a former President of the Historical Society of New Mexico. He is a renowned historian\, author\, and educator whose work has significantly shaped the understanding and appreciation of New Mexico’s rich past. \nDr. Melzer will lead the conversation about W.P.A.\, in N.M. Depression Era (1935-1943) Economic Help of Infastructure & Construction +300 – Art & Culture – Music. Its important impact on New Mexicans of this challenging time. The Works Progress Administration (WPA; from 1935 to 1939\, then known as the Work Projects Administration from 1939 to 1943) was an American New Deal agency that employed millions of jobseekers (mostly men who were not formally educated) to carry out public works projects\, including the construction of public buildings and roads. It was set up on May 6\, 1935\, by presidential order\, as a key part of the Second New Deal. \nBased on archival material and interviews with former enrollees\, Dr. Melzer tells the story of some 50\,000 young men who worked in the Corps\, an initiative of the New Deal program\, to support their families and learn skills when the private sector failed them. Great pains were taken\, he notes\, to keep the Corp from becoming a paramilitary organization\, but when World War II broke out\, military recruiters plundered it to acquire well-disciplined and highly skilled soldiers. He also describes the enduring contributions the program made to the state. \nRichard Melzer is also a guest columnist for the Valencia County New-Bulletin. He has written several columns. One of which is “Eleanor Roosevelt: The first First Lady to visit Valencia County” published on Jan 19th\, 2023. \nThis is a free community event and open to the public. No reservation is required.
