Historical Overview for the MX Base Expansion, Clovis, New Mexico.

摘要

This study endeavors to fulfill the need for a concise historical overview of the projected Operating Base Expansion of Cannon AFB for the MX missile system. The study centers on a very limited amount of land located to the north and west of the present air base. As is the case with many historical studies which are performed on arbitrarily (in historical terms) delineated areas, this study tends toward the assemblage of anecdotes and esoteric information which do not readily lend themselves to the construction of historical models of development. Instead, it is necessary to try to tie the details of local events to the broader framework of themes provided by national and regional history. In short this study attempts to show how the broader frame of events is reflected in, or dictates, the pattern of local happenings.
