Just read the wiki on him- what an interesting guy!! So many connections to world events- double agent spy during the Russo-Japanese war?!? Wow. I have only been to Nogales, AZ/MX once- but was the time in Arizona as a cowboy part of the reason the cities were named for him? I recall only that it had to do with walnuts or the walnut tree? (I don't recall, I was young...)
