∙ 13y agoBeyond the appointment of a Governor and the assignment of a few troops to the distant outpost, New Mexico had been largely ignored by the Government in far off Mexico City. Life went on with an English speaking Military Governor. New Capitol came in to the Territory and some land grants were ignored, although many still survive today. Water and access to it has always been a major problem. There was a resistance movement in the earliest years and for much of its long history as a US Territory it was the home of cattle barons, cross border bandits, Apache and Navajo wars, Civil War Raiders and attacks and range wars and rustlers. It was for a brief moment Confederate and it was also the target of Pancho Villa. It retains much of its Spanish, Mexican and Native American culture and is a gem, well entitled to the name of Land of Enchantment.
