History:

As a vital outpost of The Old Santa Fe Trail, Cimarron and the St. James
are linked to a veritable Who's Who of the early land grant settlers,
ranchers and desperados (mug shots available upon request).
The cast of characters included such notables as settlers Lucien Maxwell and Carlos Beaubien,
Buffalo Bill Cody and his cohort, Annie Oakley, Kit Carson, Frank and Jesse James, Wyatt Earp,
Billy the Kid and Blackjack Ketchum. The notorious gunman, Clay Allison,
allegedly danced naked on the bar,* once part of the present dining room which still
has bullet holes in its pressed tin ceiling.
