Lonesome Dave
Former New Mexico Governor Cargo--attorney to the downtrodden as well as the rich and famous; a changer of legislative reapportionment, and at the same time creator of the first Governor's State Film Commission in the United States--presents his priceless historical memoir.
Juan Bautista de Anza
Although Anza is best known for his travels to California as a young man, this book, the first comprehensive biography of Anza, shows his greater historical importance as a soldier and administrator in the history of North America.
James Silas Calhoun
Veteran journalist and author Sherry Robinson presents readers with the first full biography of New Mexico’s first territorial governor, James Silas Calhoun. Robinson explores Calhoun’s early life in Georgia and his military service in the Mexican War and how they led him west. Through exhaustive research Robinson shares Calhoun’s story of arriving in New Mexico in 1849—a turbulent time in the region—to serve as its first Indian agent. Inhabitants were struggling to determine where their allegiances lay; they had historic and cultural ties with Mexico, but the United States offered an abundance of possibilities. An accomplished attorney, judge, legislator, and businessman and an experienced speaker and negotiator who spoke Spanish, Calhoun was uniquely qualified to serve as the first territorial governor only eighteen months into his service. While his time on the New Mexico political scene was brief, he served with passion, intelligence, and goodwill, making him one of the most intriguing political figures in the history of New Mexico.
Los Gobernadores y Los Franciscanos de Nuevo Mexico:1598-1700 The Governors and Franciscans of New Mexico: 1598-1700
The Governors and the Franciscans contains the only, at least, up to the moment {there must be something beyond narrative and primary documents} chronological record ["The history of the province from the fall of Acoma on December 4, 1598, to the great revolt of 1680, can never be made complete, for lack of data." ---George Bancroft, Bancroft Public Library, Berkeley, California."] ["An accurate account of the building of Santa Fe and annals from founding of Villa down to the Peublo Revolt of 1680 will probably never be written."] --Ralph Twitchell Santa Fe, New Mexico} of the explicit as well as implicit; un-real as well as real; subjective as well as objective; and ideal as well as representative history of New Mexico; and as such paralells the juirisdiction of the three principal Spaniish law decrees of the sixteenth century.
Jack M. Campbell
Jack M. Campbell (1916–1999) was elected governor of New Mexico in 1962 and reelected in 1964, the first New Mexico governor in twelve years to win a second term. In this engaging autobiography, Campbell traces his life story across major historical events in the country and New Mexico. From humble beginnings on the plains of Kansas through his career as an FBI agent and his first days practicing law in Albuquerque, Campbell writes of his early attraction to the beauty and culture of New Mexico. After serving in the US Marine Corps in World War II, he returned to New Mexico and devoted himself to improving the state’s political and economic circumstances as a legislator, governor, and private citizen. Through a series of impressive accomplishments, he succeeded in bringing the state fully into the twentieth century. Campbell truly was New Mexico’s first modern governor.
