This study of the survey of the boundary line between Mexico and the United States from 1849 to 1855 was prepared in accordance with the Historical Resource Study Proposal. This called for a gathering of documentary and graphic evidence of the boundary survey to aid in the preparation of an interpretive film to be used at Chamizal National Memorial. Chapter 5 of this report was prepared to fulfill the requirements of the Historical Resource Study Proposal. Originally it was intended to clarify the details of the meeting between Capt. E.L.F. Hardcastle and Senor Francisco Jimenez that marked the completion of the California boundary survey. This information was to be the basis of a diorama and possibly form a part of a motion picture script. Historical research revealed that the story as originally conceived had to be modified almost completely. The new version contained in the fifth chapter of this report ought to be of paramount concern in the development of certain interpretive features at Chamizal National Memorial.
