Real history
Harshaw is named for cattleman-turned-prospector David Tecumseh Harshaw, who found silver there. Its largest mine, the Hermosa, yielded about $365,455 in bullion over four months in 1880 (Wikipedia).
The town became part of the Coronado National Forest in 1953, and the mines shut for the last time by the 1960s. A few houses, foundations and two small cemeteries remain (Wikipedia).
