It was only by fate that Nathan Salmon found himself in Santa Fe, New Mexico. It was 1891, on their way to points north and in the middle of a blizzard Mr. Salmon and his new bride were down to their last twenty-five cents. In desperation, he pawned his watch for enough money to wire a friend in New York. And the rest was history: with a small loan, "the man with the wagon store" was on his way to becoming one of New Mexico's best-known businessmen and most successful property owners.
