Benjamin Leaton was a trader, freight hauler along the Chihuahua Trail, and a bounty hunter paid by various local governments in Mexico for each scalp taken from an indigenous person. He also traded munitions to the Apache and Comanche for any stolen cattle they brought him.[2] When Presidio County was established in 1850, Fort Leaton was its first seat of government.[3] Leaton died in 1851,[4] and his widow married Edward Hall who continued operating the freight business from the fort. Hall became financially indebted to Leaton’s scalp hunting partner John Burgess. Hall defaulted on his debt to Burgess in 1864, and was murdered. Burgess took over the fort, and was in turn murdered by Leaton’s son in 1875. The Burgess family remained in the fort until they abandoned it in 1926.[5]

Several of our local /Hispanics/ are really Apache...and most know that they are Indio...
Interesting history, but wrong Apaches.
