Answer:

Lawrence Murphy served under Kit Carson in 1863-64 as quartermaster. He opened LG Murphy and Co. and also held army contracts to supply forts with food. As an example of how clever he was, in 1867 Murphy earned $22,000 but paid only $22.00 in taxes. Most of the time he bartered instead of dealing in cash to supply the forts. In 1869 when Lincoln County formed, Murphy was the probate judge and supplier for 7 forts as well as being supplier for the Mescalero Indian reservation. Murphy also owned the only store in the area and charged very high prices. When his monopoly was threatened, he started conflicts with other business owners, which led to the Lincoln County War.
