Born in Santa Fe in 1802, Donaciano Vigil was an active participant
in many of the critical events in New Mexico's history in the
nineteenth century. Vigil was witness to New Mexico's transition
from a Spanish province (1802-1821) to a Mexican department
(1821-1846) and eventually to an American territory (1846-1877),
and he was a key player in most of the events of that era. As a
Hispano soldier and officer in the New Mexico Militia, he was
instrumental in the Navajo Wars, the Rio Arriba insurrection of
1837, the Texas invasion of 1841, and the American invasion of
1846. As a Mexican statesman in New Mexico, he was one of the most
active assemblymen. Following the American occupation, he joined
the civil government, first as secretary, then as governor. It was
in these roles that Donaciano left an enduring impact and legacy on
the territory. In this gripping biography of a remarkable man,
Maurilio E. Vigil and Helene Boudreau fill the gap within the
scholarship on Hispanics in nineteenth-century New Mexico.
