Synopsis

New Mexico Historical Review. This issue (January 1926) presents a scholarly anthology that weaves early Spanish colonial history with a documentary survey of New Mexico’s war-era contributions. It gathers essays, primary-source excerpts, biographical sketches, and reviews that illuminate the state’s memory, governance, and frontline connections to world events. Major sections examine New Mexico in the Great War, including mobilization, demographics, cultural defenses, and the wartime leadership of figures such as Washington E. Lindsey; profile notes on the War Governor; and courtroom and legal history from the Taos court (1847). Other pieces reassess the founding era, including Onate’s capitulations and the Quivira expedition, while scholarly chapters analyze the Six Cities of Cibola and the debates about Montezuma in Pueblo narratives. The volume also contains obituaries and memorials of leading New Mexican figures, notes and reviews, and editorial features that guide researchers to archival sources. Illustrations and maps accompany extensive notes and bibliographies.
