Description
Little Beaver Town was a tourist attraction just east of Albuquerque and west of Tijeras Canyon . Tourists traveling in the late 1950s on Route 66 (The Mother Road) could visit the park and see mock gun battles , take a stagecoach ride and see Fred Saunders and Troy Vicente portray Red Ryder . Fred Harman , the creator of the famous Red Ryder comic strip , and Howard Hull , a local entrepreneur envisioned a western theme park that would rival Disneyland . The photographs are a gift of Vicki Dean Mayhew .
