'''BACA, Pablo''' (1839-1902) [www.findagrave.com], with his brother, Jose Albino Baca, raised sheep in California, New Mexico and Texas during the 1870s and 1880s. Pablo wrote a letter to his brother describing the financial ruin and ultimate demise of his sheep business due to bad weather and competition in California. Pablo moved from California to New Mexico and then Texas where he resumed his sheep-raising enterprises with the help of his brother.
