Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book records the foundational years of the Historical Society of New Mexico as a chronicle of the inauguration of its first president, Hon. W. G. Hitch. Beginning with the founding of the organization in 1859, the text outlines the society's mission to preserve the region's unique history and culture. The author notes the challenges faced by the organization during the turbulent Civil War era, leading to its eventual collapse. Despite these setbacks, the society was re-established in 1880, and this book commemorates the event with an address by President Hitch. The text also explores the historical context of New Mexico, including the arrival of Spanish explorers in the 16th century, the Pueblo Indian revolt of 1680, and the American occupation in 1846. Through this detailed account of the society's origins and goals, the book sheds light on the importance of preserving historical memory and the role of institutions like the Historical Society of New Mexico in shaping our understanding of the past.
