This book offers new insights into events in New Mexico history during the Mexican and early territorial periods, especially the Civil War years. Rafael Chacon (1833-1925), witnessed the end of the Mexican Period and was involved in commercial, military, and political events during the early decades of the American era. His account represents one of the few surviving documents to record the Hispanic perspective of this period in Southwest history.
