This book stated information about Stephenson during the Civil War and his mines. Hugh
Stephenson opened up a silver mine in the Oregon Mountains. It was a primitive pick-and-
shovel operation in which the ore was brought back to the surface on the miners backs.
Stephenson occupied a prestigious place in the life of the community. Stephenson sought to
remain neutral on the issue of succession but invested in Confederate bonds. He was not
completely impoverished by the loss of his property, he was able to draw revenues from his
silver mine. This information will be used as the body of the presentation.

In this journal, the author was a relative of Hugh Stephenson and explained Stephensons
troubled life. Hugh Stephenson was a first cousin of former Governor Stephenson of
Kentucky. He left his sheltered life to become a trapper, trader, pioneer, miner and a wealthy
merchant of the west. When he arrived at Mesilla, his hunting and trapping days were over
because the country was not suitable. He decided to give his time into mining and trading.

This periodical provided information about Stephensons relatives and how they dealt with the
Stephensons land after they had passed away. In the 1880s the descendants of Hugh and
Juana Stephenson began selling off parcels of land that was once Concordia.

This periodical states that Hugh Stephenson was engaged in many trades such as the
Chihuahua trade and Santa Fe trade. Stephensons house became a business center as well
as a farm. This growing community was home to over 400 people and was called Concordia.
Stephenson later opened the Stephenson-Bennett mine. When hostilities between Mexico
and the United States began, Stephenson was considered a loyal subject of Mexico and
therefore remained at Concordia. This will be used in the exhibit when I talk about the
community that Stephenson founded.

KOHOUT, MARTIN DONELL. "STEPHENSON, HUGH." KOHOUT, MARTIN DONELL.

Tshaonline.org, 14 June 2010. Web. 01 Mar. 2017.

At this website, I found most of the basic facts about Hugh Stephensons life such as where
he was born. Hugh Stephenson was a pioneering El Paso settler and trader. He was born on
July 18, 1798 in Kentucky. He cane west to become a trapper and was one of the first Anglo
Americans in the El Paso area. He later married Juana Maria Ascarate, a daughter of a
wealthy El Paso del Norte merchant. He established a community named Concordia and
engaged in trade. He opened up a ranch and a silver mine. In October 11, 1879 Hugh
Stephenson died and was buried in Las Cruces. This will be used as a starting point.

TIMMONS, W. H. "EL PASO, TX." TIMMONS, W. H. N.p., 11 June 2010. Web.18 Mar. 2017.

This website gave information about the first five settlements in El Paso. El Paso is at the far
western tip of Texas. The Franklin Mountains surround the harsh desert which includes the
Rio Grande. By late 1849, five settlements had been founded along the bank of the Rio
Grande. One of them was Magoffinsville which was built by the veteran Chihuahua trader,
Hugh Stephenson later called Concordia. During the civil war most of the El Paso pioneers
were sympathetic towards the South. Although Confederate forces occupied Fort Bliss, the
favor began to turn to the Unions cause. The local Confederate sympathizers eventually
received pardons but some battled for years before they recovered their properties. This
information will be used as a timeline.

the common day dresses had a very short under seam. Wide collars of lace, crochet, or

and a long waist, plain bodice that opened at the front. The 1850s wardrobe mainly consisted
of a jacket, trousers, a shirt, a vest and a necktie. Farmers and other working men wore
