Richard Salazar s A microfilm edition of the Archives Division, New Mexico State Records Center & Archives, 1988. INTRODUCTION Prior to the settlement of New Mexico by Juan de Onate in 1598, descriptions of the area had been recorded by Spanish explorers who ventured into the region. The expedition led by Francisco Vasques de Coronado into Cibola in 1540 was chronicled by some of his men, and excellent accounts were given of the country. Other adventurous parties followed • Vasques de Coronado into New Mexico between 1541 and the time of colonization in 1598, and left additional written reports of New Mexico. After colonization in 1598, excellent records were kept by the Spanish officials. The great Pueblo Revolt of 1680, however, destroyed many of the early seventeenth century documents. Fortunately, New Mexico officials were required to submit duplicate copies to the mother country and information for the period survived in Mexico and Spain. Since the revolt, including the period that the Spanish were in exile in the El Paso area between 1680 and 1692, records for the Spanish Period are relatively complete. Mexican Period records, from 1821 through U.s. Occupation , in August of 1846, are also somewhat complete with the exception of papers for communities in northern New Mexico. A number of official documents of local authorities for Santa Cruz de la Canada, Taos, Abiquiu, and San Jose de Chama had been missing for a number of years. In the early 1960s, a private collection containing many of the records for the northern jurisdiction appeared. The records, known as the Sender Collection, consisting of numerous documents for northern New Mexico communities were offered for sale to the state. A unique group of papers, the collection had gone through an interesting past. In January of 1847, on his way to Taos to see his family, Governor Charles Bent stopped at Santa Cruz de la Canada for a visit and obtained the archives maintained by the local • officials with intentions of bringing them to Santa Fe on his return from the north. His plans were to return to Santa Fe through Trampas, Truchas and Nambe (the High Road to Taos), bypassing Santa Cruz. However, upon his arrival at Taos, the 1847 rebellion against the American government caused his horrible death. Fortunately, the records which he had in his possession from the Santa Cruz jurisdiction, remained with his m~, Maria Ignacia Jaramillo, of Taos, who escaped at the time of his murder. Over the years, the papers came into the hands of a grandson of Maria Ignacia Jaramillo. By 1907, former Territorial Governor L. Bradford Prince had become aware of the existence of the collection and within two years raised enough funds to purchase the records for the New Mexico Historical Society. A total of 313 documents, the records were kept at the Palace of the Governors until 1915, after which time they no longer were found on the inventory of the records at that institution. Nothing more was known of these documents until 1961 when the owner, Kenneth D. Sender, offered the records for sale to the Museum of New Mexico. He claimed to have bought them from a descendant of L. Bradford Prince. Intending to sell the records to the Museum of New Mexico in February of 1961, Sender was greeted with a suit of replevin upon his arrival at the Palace. New Mexico officials claimed they were official documents. Represented by attorneys John Catron and Thomas Donnelly, Sender won the case against the state and the documents were returned to him. In 1964, the federal government intervened and filed a second suit against sender in an attempt to replevin the papers. The federal government now claimed ownership. Again represented by Catron and Donnelly the case was tried in federal court in Missouri and in December of 1967 the jury rendered a verdict in favor of Sender. In June of 1982, after the death of sender, the documents were sold to John Catron and Thomas Donnelly at a judicial sale in Kansas City, Missouri. Catron and Donnelly had never been fully paid for their fees, and thus opted to purchase them. The following year Catron and Donnelly offered the records for sale to the state of New Mexico. Appraised at over $100,000, the State Records Center & Archives was unable to purchase the invaluable documents because of the high price. Faced with the dilemma of losing the records because of the value placed on them, the Archives negotiated with the new owners in an attempt to acquire the collection. Catron and Donnelly, realized the importance of the materials to New Mexico's rich historical past, r------------------------------ ---- negotiated the price, and agreed to sell them to the state for $20,000. Through a $10,000 appropriation from the 1984 legislature and an additional $10,000 raised by contributions from interested citizens, the documents were purchased by the State Records Center & Archives. The Calendar to the Sender Collection describes the 313 documents which constitute part of the priceless collection of 17th, 18th and 19th century archives in the custody of the New Mexico State Records Center & Archives.

If we read only the popular histories available on the Civil War period we get the impression that the New Mexicans had never volunteered for military duty before….that they were untrustworthy, untried, and their very enlistment was a great experiment of sorts, almost amounting to the controversial use of black troops in the eastern states. This is not quite how it was. We cannot look at the situation in the southwest with the same political, religious and cultural points of view that existed in the ‘mainstream’ United States. People here did not have any real experience with the issues of Negro slavery, State’s Rights, and economics as they existed east of the Mississippi.

PREFACE In 1996, the authors became aware that neither the NSDAR (National Society for the Daughters of the American Revolution) nor the NSSAR (National Society for the Sons of the American Revolution) would accept descendants of Spanish citizens of California who had donated funds to defray expenses ,-4 the 1779-1783 war with England. As the patriots being turned down as suitable ancestors were also soldiers,the obvious question became: "Why base your membership application on a money contribution when the ancestor soldier had put his life at stake?" This led to a study of how the Spanish Army and Navy had worked during the war to defeat the English and thereby support the fledgling English colonies in their War for Independence. After a year of study, the results were presented to the NSSAR; and that organization in March, 1998, began accepting descendants of Spanish soldiers who had served in California.

Perez' murder], he hurried to the capital, expecting, as I heard it intimated by his own brother, to be elected governor; but, not having rendered any personal aid, the 'mobocracy' would not acknowledge his claim to their suffrages. He therefore retired, Santa Anna-like, to his residence at Albuquerque, to plot, in imitation of his great prototype, some measures for counteracting the operation of his own intrigues. In this he succeeded so well, that towards September he was able to collect a considerable force in the Rio-Abajo, when he proclaimed a contra- revolucion in favor of the federal government. About the same time the disbanded troops of the capital under Captain Caballero, made a similar pronounciamento demanding their arms, and offering their services gratis. The 'mobocratic' dynasty had gone so far as to deny allegiance to Mexico, and to propose sending to Texas for protection; although there had not been any previous understanding with that Republic. [Gregg, Josiah] Overview: Albuquerque Alburquerque was founded as a villa in 1706 in a rich agricultural region of New Mexico. Its Old Town plaza was the original town center. Evidently, the decision to settle the "Bosque Grande of Doña Luisa" was made in 1698. A manuscript from February 1706 showed that Governor Cuervo y Valdéz authorized the actual settlement, which took place shortly thereafter.

  • Chapter One Texan Invasions
    Chapter One Texan Invasions The problems between New Mexico and Texas did not begin during the American Civil War. They began during the Texas revolution for independence in 1836. When General Sam Houston’s troops captured Santa Anna himself, Houston judiciously tried to cinch his success and avoid further bloodshed by making a deal with him. In return for sparing his life, the Mexican leader agreed to pull his troops out of Texas. It was a good move because Santa Anna had 4,000 fresh troops not twenty miles away. The Texan army followed the retreating Mexicans to the banks of the Rio Grande. Once there, Sam Houston and his officers inspected their newly won Territory and tried to decide where the western boundaries of their new country lay. Sam Houston General Houston stopped his forces on the banks of the Rio Grande where he believed the border between Texas and Mexico should be. All of his senior officers wanted the border to be a hundred miles west at a certain mountain range. They wanted complete control of the river valley. But Houston prevailed, insisting that the Rio Grande from the mouth of the river, north to 39 degrees latitude, and then eastward along northern New Mexico all the way to the Arkansas River, then at 100 degrees longitude south to the Red River, following the river to the border of Louisiana, and down to the Gulf of Mexico.1 Thus began the troubles between New Mexico and Texas as they claimed all of New Mexico’s land east of the Rio Grande.

Fort Collins, CO: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 277 p. Abstract This study focuses on the cultural-historical environment of the 88,900-acre (35,560-ha) Valles Caldera National Preserve (VCNP) over the past four centuries of Spanish, Mexican, and U.S. governance. It includes a review and synthesis of available published and unpublished historical, ethnohistorical, and ethnographic literature about the human occupation of the area now contained within the VCNP. Documents include historical maps, texts, letters, diaries, business records, photographs, land and mineral patents, and court testimony. This study presents a cultural-historical framework of VCNP land use that will be useful to land managers and researchers in assessing the historical ecology of the property. It provides VCNP administrators and agents the cultural-historical background needed to develop management plans that acknowledge traditional associations with the Preserve, and offers managers additional background for structuring and acting on consultations with affiliated communities. The Authors Kurt F. Anschuetz, an archaeologist and anthropologist, is the Program Director of the RÍo Grande Foundation for Communities and Cultural Landscapes in Santa Fe, New Mexico. He provides educational opportunities and technical assistance to Indian, Hispanic, and Anglo communities working to sustain their traditional relations with the land, the water, and their cultural heritage resources in the face of rapid development.

The story started while Armijo was at the height of his power; it has been printed and reprinted these hundred and thirty years with scarcely a skeptic dissent.! The legend seems to have been set down first by George Wilkins Kendall, in sketches written for the New Orleans Picayune in 1842. In 1844 Kendall gathered the sketches into a book, his best-selling Narrative of the Texan Santa Fe Expedition.2 Here Kendall devoted' a page and a half to Armijo's beginnings; his birth near Albuquerque of low and disreputable parents, his early pilfering of neighbor's sheep, his later extensive larcenies which, along with good luck at monte, led to his considerable wealth and his learning to read and write.
