  • Pueblo Bonito housed as many as 1,500 people in its 800 rooms, becoming perhaps the first "condominium."
  • Just before his sentence of hanging was carried out, the outlaw Black Jack Ketchum demanded of the hangman, "Hurry it up; I'm due in hell for dinner."
  • One of the principal attractions of Carlsbad Caverns is the evening flight of millions of bats. Winging their way out of the cavern entrance, the swarm of bats look like a column of smoke.
