This is the first compilation of New Mexico's History which aims at comprehensiveness of the many subjects and vast details involved in a description of the Territory's resources and people and a narrative of the events of its career from De Vaca to the present.
The difficulties of such an undertaking are obvious. While a pains- taking effort has been made to seek more than the cut-and-dried materials of history, this attempt lias often been unsuccessful so far as official records are concerned, the latter being frequently lost or destroyed, and in other cases poorly kept.
For the history of the past fifty years, interviews with hundreds of well informed and reliable people have furnished a wealth of personal observation and opinion. Yet in many cases these accounts of important events differ in essentials as well as details, though the narrators may have been eye-witnesses. It is believed that an impartial arrangement of this material has been effected.
In the preparation of the History many published works have been examined. In some cases investigation and the judgment of the historian have caused a departure from the generally accepted order of facts.
Works to which reference has been made are :
Reports of the Bureau of Ethnology of the Smithsonian Institution and Reports of the American Museum.
Reports of Federal Departments and Bureaus.
Reports of Territorial Officials.
