Description

General Note: Part of the CWA Pioneer Interviews Collection. Consists of an interview of C.W. Wonderly, an early day resident of Otero County, Colorado. Born in Ohio in 1860, Wonderly came to Granada, Colorado, in 1877 to hunt buffalo. He moved on to La Junta, and was persuaded to stay there because of his experience in being a "caller" of square dances. He later helped to establish the first movie theater in La Junta.
