History of name

It says Mosquero comes from the swarms of flies attracted to bison carcasses hunted by native Americans. This is 1902, the bison were already gone, and most of them were wiped out maybe 20 years earlier, by white people who wanted to starve out the Indians. I really doubt this source from the 1960's is accurate. Nerfer (talk) 01:14, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
