FAVORITE SAYING: "Such is life and so it is mostly." [#158]

EDUCATION:

1. There is an indication somewhere that he went to military schools in Friesland. He may have, although he is not included on the rosters of graduates. [#158]
2. See Rocky Mountain Directory; County Gazetteer, 1871. [#159]

CLUBS/LODGES: Albert Henry Pfeiffer was a member of the Historical Society in Santa Fe [#158] He also had a Masonic Order membership "signed by Pres. Andrew Jackson". [SOURCE: (g) ] .

PROPERTIES: 1. Letters to Albert Henry Pfeiffer, Sr. from A.H. Paul (cousin) indicate that Albert Henry Pfeiffer had an inheritance of property coming from his father but that relations between them were strained. Paul suggested to Albert Henry Pfeiffer that he should claim his inheritance from his father [#158, #160] .

RELIGION: Albert Henry Pfeiffer's father was a Lutheran minister. [SOURCE: (g)].

RELATIVES:

1. Albert Henry Pfeiffer's father was a Lutheran minister of Scotch descent (Not Scottish, but German, according to Fr. O'Neil, source #158].
2. Mother was from a Scotch noble family.[#158]
3. 3. There was a cousin, whose name was Albert Henry _______ (perhaps, Pfeiffer, maybe from other side of family) who came to San Francisco on a ship owned by a Capt. Paul. The Captain took a shine to this cousin of Albert Henry Pfeiffer and since he had no family made the cousin a deal. If he would change his name to Albert Henry Paul, Captain Paul would leave him all his worldly goods including the ship. The cousin changed his name and was there after known as A. H. Paul and made a very good living in San Francisco. There are some "Pauls" in Oakland, CA that may be related to him. This information is all in letters written to the Col. by A. H. Paul [#158, #160].
4. Also in letters written to the Colonel by Albert Henry Paul are references to the Colonel's illegitimate son in Germany whose mother was a woman named Catarina who was married to someone else.

Other correspondence indicates that the boy grew up and went to sea [#158, 160]
5. Albert Henry Pfeiffer, Sr. had a "strained" relationship with his father who, according to Albert Henry Paul in letters to Albert Henry Pfeiffer, "had a hard heart". [#158, #160]
6. Albert Henry Pfeiffer, Sr.'s half brother was George Keppler, Jr.

HEALTH:

1. Injured during Apache raid, 1863, Fort McRae, NM. The reason Albert Henry Pfeiffer was at Ojo Caliente, where his wife was killed, was that his eyes had been bothering him so he travelled there from Fort Craig "to take a cure" (see Chapman notes, 12/5/1995). Health improved by the Spring's water.

The Ranch house at Granger is remembered (by Pauline Nielson's sister) as having a porch-like veranda on 2 sides, maybe 3 (see SOURCE: (h). 3/25/96). It had a basement serviced by a stairway from the pantry. Halfway down the stairs was a cupboard that had screen, that Edna Pfeiffer Goodman used as a cooler for her pantry "with a water box, (water was so cold that it kept milk and butter etc, cold. We also had an ice box. A cabinet like piece of furniture, that I got when we divided Mother's [Lena Elliott] things. A compartment was lined with tin and held a block of ice.. In the compartment below, it had shelves...[also lined with tin... that [served as] the food keeper. Then there were pipes running through it that came from the melted water from above and circulated around the shelves. The pipes drained in a box in the bottom of the ice box. Those were the times when we didn't have refrigerators.

  "Fort McRae, NM, June 21 1863. Colonel: I have the honor to inform you that on the 18th instant Captain Pfeiffer, Mrs. Pfeiffer, her servant, (an Indian girl,) Mr. Betts, (a citizen,) and an escort consisting of six men, left this post for the Ojo Caliente, or Warm Springs, situated in a northwesterly direction and about eight miles from this post. The said springs are supposed to possess some medicinal qualities, the Captain and a few men afflicted with the rheumatism having tried them on former occasion with gratifying results. Yesterday morning, about 7 o'clock, they were surprised by a party of Mescalero Apaches, about twenty in number, who killed two men on the spot, and wounded Captain Pfeiffer and Mr. Betts. The Captain seeing they were overpowered, retreated across the river, and made for this post.

  Major Morrison is now after the Indians with 35 men. The Indians took Mrs. Pfeiffer and servant and a company laundress (who accompanied her husband to the springs)about 20 miles with them and for some reason shot them and left them for dead. Major Morrison's command found them still living, but Mrs. Pfeiffer and servant mortally wounded. They have been brought to the post. There were four of the party killed, including the women, four wounded, not any of them at present considered dangerously, and the rest escaped uninjured.

  I am, Captain, very respectfully, your obedient servant, Charles M. Hubbell, 2nd Lieut. 1st NM Vols., Com'g Post. Col. E. A. Rice, 1st Infantry C. V., Commanding Fort Craig.

  P.S.since writing the above I learn from the wounded laundress that the Indians were a party of the same Indians that Colonel Carson, First New Mexico volunteers, entered into a treaty with, at Fort Stanton, on the Rio Bonito, some time last winter, she having recognized the Chief Lorenzo and two others.

STORIES/TRADITIONS:

1. Albert Henry Pfeiffer named Embargo Creek, dividing line for Indian and White hunting (see "Del Norte; It's Past and Present".
2. While escaping the Native Americans that killed his wife, the Col. had to cross a river. He couldn't swim, and the story goes that he let all the air out of his lungs so he could walk across the bottom to get to the other side [#158]
3. There's a story about a crow and Pfeiffer memorialized by "Mrs. Russell" [#158]
4. There's an account written by Bancroft, an historian, about Glorietta Pass battle where General Silby/Silvy brings Confederates to Fort Craig (south of Santa Fe). The Southern Army was on the east side of the Rio Grande River and the Northern Army was on the west side. The account states that someone from the Union army crossed the river in the night and cut the confederates mules loose from their hobbles. Somewhere else Albert Henry Pfeiffer says that it was he who crossed the river and did the deed. [#158, #163]
5. Archeleta was a rotten Indian agent. Pfeiffer had something to do with replacing him or doing some of his work I#158]
6. Pfeiffer had some dealings with Lafayette Head who had a ranch called Casa Grande in Conejos, Southern Colorado [#158].
7. Story about Albert Henry Pfeiffer hearing that an Indian was boasting about wanting to kill Pfeiffer. Pfeiffer sought him out and boldly walked up to him daring him to do it. [#158]
8. Canyon de Chelly campaign. Albert Henry Pfeiffer was supposed to go to the main canyon and move Indians out of the canyon. But he was unaware of the fact that there were two sections of the canyon (Main canyon and Del Muerto section) so he started engaging Indians at the beginning of the canyon (i.e. Del Muerto section) and continued to engage them as he swept thru to the opposite end (i.e. Main Canyon) [#158]

MONUMENTS:

1. Monument with large billboard recalling his fight with Navajo for Ute territory he wanted to secure for the Utes in Pagosa Springs, CO.
2. DAR built a monument over his gravesite. DAR was given a deed (by Mary Eliz. Chamberlain Pfeiffer) to the area (a small square, 10 feet long and 6 feet wide) the grave sits on. Around it is all private property. Myrwood Goodman's ashes are buried and marked to the left of the monument as you face it's placque. (see 10/24/1931 photo of Col. P's monument). Picked fence made by Albert, Jr. "decades ago". Pauline's brothers keep it painted by request of the DAR (see Pauline Nielson's handwritten notes on 10/24/1931 photo of the gravesite and her letter of 3/25/96).
3. The gravesite and monument are on land that once was Col. P's ranch which was later purchased by a family named Gredig "who were cousins of Grandma (Mary Elizabeth Gredig Pfeiffer) ...An agreement at the time of the sale to the Gredig relatives, was a provision to give a deed to Grandma for 10'x6' site." (see SOURCES: (h).
