The year is 1835, the place New Mexico, the hero or villain,
depending upon your view is Don Albino Perez. Perez, the newly
appointed Mexican governor, is more of an idealist than a
politician. He rides north with high hopes for his new office in a
strange land. After reaching New Mexico and assuming his duties,
Perez finds he has a strong and forceful opponent in the former
governor, Don Manuel Armijo. Armijo, who enjoys popular support, is
determined to sabotage all of Perez's programs. His big opportunity
comes when Perez puts into effect a vast taxation plan that touches
everybody's pocketbooks. Feelings run high and Armijo seizes the
moment to act. Perez is captured and beheaded. His short two-year
chapter in New Mexico history with its political turmoil and
intrigue is ended. FRANK McCULLOCH, well-known writer of New Mexico
history, did extensive research on this fascinating era in New
Mexico. He was also fortunate to obtain firsthand accounts of the
events from the granddaughter of Don Albino Perez.
