Demetrio Lujan, Española, NM

Dave Yeamans

Dave writes: “If you study it, you find a double tree carved with a date of ‘Julio 8 1891’. The tree is still alive. The other tree bears the name ‘Demetrio Lujan Española NM’. I believe Demetrio’s name may have been carved about the same time as the 1891 inscription.

“As part of my official role of the Dendroglyph Survey Team Leader, I will be seeking permission from the Valles Caldera to survey the trees in this area near their property and include them in the 1,000+ database of trees we’ve recorded in the last four years.”
