Ch. I (pp. 7-21) traces the Jewish presence in the state of New Mexico to the Spanish period when the region was colonized, between 1598-1680. Persecuted by the Inquisition in colonial Mexico in the 1590s and 1640s, many Portuguese Conversos fled north to New Leon and New Mexico to seek refuge. States that, until recently, many New Mexican Hispanics have been unaware that they observe Jewish traditions. Some have complained of being called "killers of Christ". The present Jewish population is composed mainly of descendants of German Jews who emigrated after 1846-48. In New Mexico there were almost no manifestations of antisemitism, apart from sporadic attacks against Jews (e.g. in 1867) in the press, which showed that personal politics or Jewish economic prominence could elicit latent antisemitism. In 1982 a controversy broke out about the use of the swastika and Nazi-like uniforms in the State University's yearbook, and in 1967 Reies Tijerina, a Christian fundamentalist, accused Jews of having stripped the Hispanics of their ancestral lands.

Vaughn is a present-day community located in southwestern Guadalupe county at the junction of three highways, US 54, 60 and 285. It is also located at the junction point of two railroads, the AT & SF, popularly known as the Santa Fe, and the Southern Pacific. The area was originally a site on the Stinson cattle trail from Texas to the Estancia Valley. The Stinson cattle trail was pioneered by Jim Stinson in 1882. In 1901 the El Paso &Rock Island began building a railroad through the area and the community of what eventually became Vaughn was born. The El Paso & Rock Island referred to the community as Tony and early railroad maps show Tony located where Vaughn eventually came into existence. The community was named Vaughn for Major G. W. Vaughn, a civil engineer for the AT & SF railroad. The Santa Fe railroad began building its Belen Cut Off through the area after the El Paso & Rock Island had established itself in the area. The Belen Cut Off was a railroad route that the Santa Fe hoped would be more attractive to passengers and companies shipping freight to the West. The route would avoid the mountains of northern New Mexico that the Santa Fe had to deal with when it entered the territory through Raton Pass in 1879. The Belen cut off entered Vaughn from the west in 1905 and from the east in 1907. The Santa Fe railroad decided to build its railroad facilities, a railroad depot, its reading room, and the eating house, the Harvey House, about a mile east of the community that came into existence with the coming of the El Paso & Rock Island. Because of that decision, East Vaughn was born. East Vaughn was essentially an AT & SF community and Vaughn was an El Paso & Rock Island community. The two communities eventually merged into one incorporated town, Vaughn, in 1920, and elected a mayor and had a town council. Each had its own post office. Before the merger, there were two mayors and two governing councils. They also consolidated their schools and built a new school between the two former communities. It Happened in Vaughn is a collection of assorted stories gathered from several sources. Most of the vignettes are from old newspaper articles about Vaughn and the surrounding area. Many of the vignettes are illustrated with period pictures to help provide a visual account of Vaughn rich and colorful past.

With the arrival of the transcontinental railroad in the 1880s came the emergence of a modern and profoundly multicultural New Mexico. Native Americans, working-class Mexicans, elite Hispanos, and black and white newcomers all commingled and interacted in the territory in ways that had not been previously possible. But what did it mean to be white in this multiethnic milieu? And how did ideas of sexuality and racial supremacy shape ideas of citizenry and determine who would govern the region? Coyote Nation considers these questions as it explores how New Mexicans evaluated and categorized racial identities through bodily practices. Where ethnic groups were numerous and—in the wake of miscegenation—often difficult to discern, the ways one dressed, bathed, spoke, gestured, or even stood were largely instrumental in conveying one's race. Even such practices as cutting one's hair, shopping, drinking alcohol, or embalming a deceased loved one could inextricably link a person to a very specific racial identity. A fascinating history of an extraordinarily plural and polyglot region, Coyote Nation will be of value to historians of race and ethnicity in American culture.
