Born in Santa Fe in 1802, Donaciano Vigil was an active participant in many of the critical events in New Mexico's history in the nineteenth century. Vigil was witness to New Mexico's transition from a Spanish province (1802-1821) to a Mexican department (1821-1846) and eventually to an American territory (1846-1877), and he was a key player in most of the events of that era. As a Hispano soldier and officer in the New Mexico Militia, he was instrumental in the Navajo Wars, the Rio Arriba insurrection of 1837, the Texas invasion of 1841, and the American invasion of 1846. As a Mexican statesman in New Mexico, he was one of the most active assemblymen. Following the American occupation, he joined the civil government, first as secretary, then as governor. It was in these roles that Donaciano left an enduring impact and legacy on the territory. In this gripping biography of a remarkable man, Maurilio E. Vigil and Helene Boudreau fill the gap within the scholarship on Hispanics in nineteenth-century New Mexico.

No man played such a major role in the history of New Mexico, yet has been ignored and side-stepped for lesser lights who were neither erudite nor brilliant. More books have been written about the State's outlaws, scouts, politicians, adventurers, scenic wonders, climate, minerals, land grants, pueblos and conquistadores than merited or necessary. Donaciano Vigil was more than just a governor. One would say that he was to New Mexico what a prime minister is to a king or president. Humble in the extreme, an enemy of pretense, he was the actual power that gave New Mexico to the United States, although others took the credit. He was responsible for the translations of the inscriptions on the famous land-mark rock of that name he saved the land grants for the Pueblo Indians was well as for many others who otherwise would have lost all their possessions; he was the real rather-founder of modern education the force behind Kearny's Code of Laws the pacifier who slowly but surely led his people to accept the American way of life. He was the advisor and father-confessor of many a troubled soul in high station on the political front, and steer them through the troubled waters of their time. His fire and zeal kept New Mexico in the Union at a time it was on the brink of moving the other way. Now several generations have passed, the archives reveal the truth so long hidden away in musty corners for want of scholars willing to devote eye-straining hours to translating and arranging. Besides, it was so much easier to read men like Gregg, Twitchell, Bancroft, Coan and others because they wrote in English. Thus the world gazed at men like Vigil through the eyes of men like Gregg, James, Catron and Houghton. The archives began with the roots, the very core. These others merely skimmed the cream. The truth is no longer buried. Vigil emerges as one of New Mexico's greats.

Historians have long admired Ralph Emerson Twitchell's "The Leading Facts of New Mexican History," considered the first major history of the state. Put succinctly by former State Historian Robert J. Tórrez, Twitchell's work (of which this is one of the first two volumes Sunstone Press is reprinting in its Southwest Heritage Series) has "become the standard by which all subsequent books on New Mexico history are measured." As Twitchell wrote in the preface of his first volume, his goal in writing "The Leading Facts" was to respond to the "pressing need" for a history of New Mexico with a commitment to "accuracy of statement, simplicity of style, and impartiality of treatment." Ralph Emerson Twitchell was born in Ann Arbor, Michigan, on November 29, 1859. Arriving in New Mexico when he was twenty-three, he immediately became involved in political and civic activities. In 1885 he helped organize a new territorial militia in Santa Fe and saw active duty in western New Mexico. Later appointed judge advocate of the Territorial Militia, he attained the rank of colonel, a title he was proud to use for the rest of his life. By 1893 he was elected the mayor of Santa Fe and, thereafter, district attorney of Santa Fe County. Twitchell probably promoted New Mexico as much as any single New Mexican of his generation. An avid supporter of New Mexico statehood, he argued the territory's case for elevated political status, celebrated its final victory in 1912, and even designed New Mexico's first state flag in 1915. Just as Twitchell's first edition in 1912 helped celebrate New Mexico's entry into statehood in 1912, the newest edition of the text and illustrations serves as a tribute to the state's centennial celebration of 2012. In the apt words of an editorial in the "Santa Fe New Mexican" at the time of Twitchell's death in 1925: "As press agent for the best things of New Mexico, her traditions, history, beauty, glamour, scenery, archaeology, and material resources, he was indefatigable and efficient."

Land grant disputes from the nineteenth century have divided and embittered some people for most of the twentieth century. In an attempt to bring final resolution to lingering controversies in New Mexico and throughout the West, in 2000 the U.S. Congress pledged to review disputed claims in the next few years. The Pecos Grant is illustrative of legal and administrative wrangling over land grants. To ensure that a U.S. Senate Committee understood the complexity of the Pecos Grant, New Mexico lawyer and historian Ralph Emerson Twitchell told them in 1923: "There are so many things in connection with this entire business that twenty King Solomons cannot unravel the knot." Yet in this book Hall does sort through the conflicting claims in the over one hundred years of Spanish, Mexican, and American legal maneuvers, legislative stalemates, and private sales involving this 18,000 acre square of land.
