His bookplate depicts the grand fireplace of the chief residence, Casa Grande, at his ranch on that property, Vermejo Park, in New Mexico. That house was built after Bartlett purchased 205,000 acres of Maxwelll Land Grant property, in 1902, including Vermejo Park. His library purportedly contained 10,000 volumes, which were bought and perhaps bound by his architect (and Frank Lloyd Wright's mentor) Joseph Silsbee. N° de ref. del artículo 358
