The St, James Hotel, Cimarron, NM, USA
The St, James Hotel: Serving as cook for General Grant and President Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War, Henri Lambert (1838-1913) drifted west in 1864 in hopes of finding gold. Lambert moved to Cimarron in 1872 and built this hotel at a cost of $17,000. Its saloon, restaurant, and 43 rooms were witness to at least 26 murders during Cimarron's wilder days, most committed in "self-defense." Clay Allison, Black Jack Ketchum and Buffalo Bill Cody have all left their mark on the St. James, as attested by the numerous bullet holes in the ceiling of the main dining room. The St. James is also famous for its ghosts. Cimarron, New Mexico, USA.
