Their comments are reflected in certain factual changes in this paperback edition. Hopefully this time the map will not send the Goodnight-Loving Trail to wander on the wrong side of the Pecos River or any longer permit Laramie to usurp Cheyenne's spot on the Union Pacific line. I owe special thanks to Harwood P. Hinton, editor of Arizona and the West, for his suggestions. Comments by Ray A. Billington, John Porter Bloom, Earl S. Pomeroy, W. Eugene Hollon, John D. W. Guice, Dr. Bert Sacks, Bert Fireman, Kenneth N. Owens, Robert W. Larson, Thomas G. Alexander, William Turrentine Jackson and James Vivian were helpful. And finally the researches, stimulating ideas and irre­ pressible curiosity of Lewis L. Gould and R. Hal Williams have enriched my own understanding of the history of the American Southwest.

Lincoln's New Mexico Patronage: Saving the Far Southwest for the Union DEREN EARL KELLOGG New Mexico Territory receives scant mention in connection with the administration of President Abraham Lincoln. Historians have generally concluded that Lincoln and other federal officials attached no great value to the territory and mostly neglected it. It is true that Lincoln could devote little attention to the administration of the western territories during the Civil War, which threatened the very future ofthe country. However, evi­ I, dence suggests that Lincoln did care about saving New Mexico:for the Union and should be given some credit for achieving this goal. Aithough Lincoln's western patronage record was generally undistinguished, his appointments to the New Mexico Territory were popular men who had' experience in the Southwest and who often did not identify themselves with the Republican Party.

  • The Birth of Arizona
    RIZO A THE BIRTH OF ARIZONA THE BABY STATE Bt J. MORRIS RICHARDS ARIZONA STATE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION Hi PHOENIX, ARIZONA 1940 GEORGE W. P. HUNT, President ARIZONA CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION 132899 PREFACE 40* The story of the Birth of Arizona is told here from the viewpoint of the newspaper men and the political party leaders who were active during the period in which the persistent efforts of Arizonans to obtain state- hood finally bore fruit. Much of the material that can be found in public records purposely has been omitted, particularly statis- tical records and lists of names. The purpose of this little book is to bring to the citizens of Arizona, and others, a rather complete story of that period in the history of the state which began when Congress and the President acted to admit Arizona and New Mexico into the Union. It closes with the es- tablishment, through the inauguration of the first state officials, of Arizona as the Baby State. Grateful acknowledgment is made to the many news- papers still published in Arizona for the quotations from their files. Appreciation is expressed to Mulford Winsor, state librarian, for permission to use the files of the library and for his criticism and verification of much of the material contained herein. Thanks are given, too, to Mr. Hilliard Brooke for his evaluation of the manu- script, and to Miss Margaret Bouck for her part in its preparation for the printer. Special thanks are given to Aloa Dixon Richards, my wife, for her assistance while the material was in proof form.
