Trade Paperback. Condition: Very Good. First Edition Stated. 152 Pages Indexed. Lightwear to fron coveredges and corners. To Santa Fe in 1858 came a young Prussian Jew, Louis Felsenthal, who hoped to share in the profitable trade carried on in the city. The United States had established the New Mexico Territory in 1851, and Santa Fe was its commercial, legislative, judicial, and military center. Felsenthal spent forty years in the Territory, and in this biography of the man and his times we have a fascinating and detailed account of day-to-day life in business, politics, law, and soldiering in the Territorial period. Felsenthal was representative of the hundreds of New Mexicans who, in their unheralded lives, brought order and progress to the West. He was not a prime mover in history but rather one of the many whose deeds helped close the frontier of the American West: a courageous Union officer who twice raised a volunteer infantry ompany and defended the Santa Fe Trail against marauding Indians, a legal and commercial clerk noted for his felicity in various languages, a friend and associate of many leading New Mexicans of his day, a collector keenly interested in history, and a founding member of the Historical Society of New Mexico. Jacqueline Meketa's meticulous work as a historian-detective among archival records enabled her to assemble this richly detailed portrait of the personality, thought, and temperament of Louis Felsenthal. All who are interested in New Mexico's past will welcome this biography. Seller Inventory # 23027
