Aztec cowboys in 1877

The Aztec Land and Cattle Company of Boston, became the third largest cattle company in North America in the late 1800's. Headquartered in Holbrook, Arizona, The ranch soon became a hotbed of cattle rustling, both from their own cowboys and from the small ranchers who had previously settled there. The sudden presence of so many cowboys also gave rise to rustling, robbery and gunfights. In desperation, the Aztec Company hired Bert Mossman, who would later become the first captain of the Arizona Rangers, to manage the outfit in January, 1898.
