Manuel Antonio Chaves Life Straddled Three Eras Of New Mexican History: He Was Born (1818) At The Tag End Of The Spanish Colonial Period, He Grew To Manhood In The Rough And Heady Days Of The Santa Fe Trade During The Quarter Century Of Mexican Rule (18211846), And He Spent His Mature Years Under The Territorial Regime Established By The United States. Manuel Chaves Long Career (Died 1889) Was Interwoven With Almost Every Major Historical Event Which Occurred During His Adult Lifethe Texansanta Fe Expedition, The Mexican War, The Civil War, Skirmishes With Utes, Navajos, And Apaches. He Was Called El Leoncito, The Little Lion, Having Earned The Name As An Indian Fighter. He Lived For Two Years In St. Louis And Was A Welltravelled Man, Doing Business In New Orleans, New York, And Cuba.A Hundred Years Ago When Men Still Gathered Around Campfires And Storytelling Was A Welldeveloped Art, Chaves Exploits Were Known To All New Mexicans. But History Has A Capricious Memory And His Name Became Virtually Forgotten. Around The Turn Of The Century, Charles F. Lummis Flowery Pen Recalled Brief Attention To Chaves Life, And In 1927 He Appeared As A Minor Character In Willa Cathers Death Comes For The Archbishopbut Otherwise Was Virtually Forgotten. Alas. Too Few Of Our Spanish Frontiersmen Have Been Studied In Depth. Manuel Chaves And His Life Should Not Be Lost. He Was One Of The Legendary But Real Men Who Pioneered And Built The 19Th Century Southwest. Howard R. Lamar Laments: The Spanishamerican Population Of New Mexico Still Lacks A Historian. Marc Simmons Biography Of Manuel Chaves Helps Fill That Gap.
