The El Paso Salt War, also known as the Salinero Revolt and the San Elizario Salt War, began in the late 1860s and was a struggle between El Paso, Texas businessmen to acquire title to the salt deposits near the base of the Guadalupe Mountains. The political and legal struggle extended to an armed conflict waged with the Mexican and Tejano residents living in the communities on both sides of the Rio Grande. What began as a local quarrel grew in the 12-year struggle to gain the attention of both the Texas and federal governments and newspapers covered the story across the nation. At the conflict’s height, as many as 650 men bore arms and up to 30 men were killed, along with numerous more being wounded before it was over. A clean very presentable copy in a Brodart mylar jacket.
