"The Last of the Train Robbers"

Marker is a few miles south of Tucumcari on Route 209. It reads: "The last of the train robbers, Black Jack Ketchum, who terrorized the railroads in the 1880s, killed two men near this spot and hid out in a cave near Saddleback Mesa to the Southwest. The swarthy bandit was wounded in his last robbery and hanged in 1901."
