Erna Fergusson, noted journalist, author and lecturer, was born into a family of
distinguished ancestry in Albuquerque, NM on January 10, 1888. Although she traveled widely,
she maintained a permanent residence in Albuquerque, and she passed away in that city on
July 30, 1964. She always felt a strong commitment to her native state; thus her
contributions to New Mexico and to its people were significant and enduring.
Fergusson's mother was Clara Mary Huning, a daughter of Franz and Ernestine Huning.
(Although she later shortened her name, Erna was named after her grandmother.) Her
grandfather, Franz Huning, had arrived in New Mexico in 1853. He settled in the Rio Grande
Valley, making Albuquerque his permanent home, and he participated in the development of the
area, particularly after the coming of the railroad in 1880. Erna's father, Harvey Butler
Fergusson, was the son of a Confederate Army officer who had served on the staff of General
Robert E. Lee. Fergusson came to New Mexico in 1882 as a young lawyer representing a client
of his Wheeling, West Virginia firm. Clara Huning and Harvey Fergusson were married in
1887.
Erna Fergusson spent her childhood days in and out of the Huning Castle built on her
grandfather's 700-acre tract of land. A part of her childhood was also spent in Washington,
D.C., where her father was a delegate to Congress. He had been elected from New Mexico to
the Fifty-Fifth Congress, in which he served from March 1897 until March 1899. (He was
successful in obtaining the passage on June 21, 1898, of the Fergusson Act, an important
statute which granted to New Mexico four million acres of public domain in trust for the use
and benefit in perpetuity of the common schools of New Mexico.) He also later served, from
January 1912 until March 1915, as a member of the Sixty-Second Congress.
After having completed one year of preparatory work at both the University of New Mexico
(1904) and the Collegiate School in Los Angeles (1905), Erna Fergusson was graduated in 1906
from Central (Albuquerque) High School. She then embarked on a teaching career in the
Albuquerque Public Schools. She returned to the University of New Mexico, where she obtained
a Bachelor of Pedagogy degree in 1912. After receiving a master's degree from Columbia
University in 1913, she taught school in Chatham Hall, Virginia and again in the Albuquerque
Public Schools.
With the advent of World War I, Fergusson joined the American Red Cross as Home Service
Secretary and Staff Supervisor for New Mexico. In that capacity, she traveled all over New
Mexico by train, automobile, horseback, and on foot during 1918 and 1919. With the war at an
end, Erna did not return to teaching, but instead went to work as a reporter for The Albuquerque Herald.
While working on the Herald, Fergusson formed a partnership
in the "dude wrangling business" with Ethel Hickey, at one time a faculty member of the
University of New Mexico. From 1922 to 1927 the two women operated a tour company known as
"Koshare Tours," which guided tourists to the Indian Pueblos in New Mexico and to the Navajo
and Hopi reservations in New Mexico and Arizona. Later on, when the Santa Fe Railway began
its Indian Detour Service, Fergusson was employed to organize and direct the Detour
couriers. During this period of time, Fergusson, already steeped in the lore New Mexico
through reading Bandelier, Lummis, and others, began a serious study of the three
cultures--Indian, Spanish, and Anglo--which would later be reflected in her writings.
In 1925 Witter Bynner, the poet, introduced Fergusson to Alfred Knopf, a New York
publisher. Interested in Fergusson's conversation about Indians and Indian dances, Knopf
encouraged her to write a book about her experiences. As a result, Dancing Gods was published by Knopf in 1931. Her book was so successful that it
brought Fergusson national recognition as an authority on the Southwest, and it was
republished in 1957 by the University of New Mexico Press.
During the next thirty years, Erna Fergusson wrote a number of books reflecting her travels
in the Southwest and in Latin America. Several were published by Knopf and others by
Armitage Editions and the University of New Mexico Press. After Dancing Gods, she turned her attention to Latin America with Fiesta in Mexico (1934), Guatemala
(1937), and Venezuela (1939). A book about the local
region, Our Southwest (1940), was followed within the decade
by Our Hawaii (1942), Chile
(1943), Cuba (1946), Albuquerque (1947), and Murder and Mystery in New Mexico
(1948). The latter, which contained illustrations by Peter Hurd, was dedicated to
Erna's father, Harvey B. Fergusson. Published in the 1950s were the children's books, Let's Read About Hawaiian Islands (1950) and Hawaii (1950) as well as a second book on Mexico, Mexico Revisited (1955). New Mexico: A
Pageant of Three Peoples, first published in 1951, was reissued in 1964. Her
Mexican Cookbook (1934), a book of New Mexican recipes, was
revised in 1940 and has gone through several printings.
Fergusson's books and articles reveal her ability to write on a wide range of subjects
related to the Southwest and to Latin America. She was a hard-working journalist; she read
widely before traveling to the places she wrote about, although her material was basically
what she saw and heard. Her last book on the Southwest, New Mexico: A
Pegeant of Three Peoples, stands as one of her best. It represents the culmination
of a lifetime of living in, traveling about, and studying her home state with an
affectionate but often critical mind.
Erna Fergusson's contributions to the community were many. She participated actively in
civic projects that spanned environmental concerns to the preservation of New Mexico's
cultural heritage. Throughout the years, she also demonstrated her loyalty and support for
programs and activities at the University of New Mexico. That institution awarded her an
honorary degree of Doctor of Letters in 1943.
