Fictional adaptation of the Budville, NM murders by New Mexico crime historian, Don Bullis. "What Don Bullis has done with this novel is intertwine a very accurate weave of murder, police and politics in New Mexico. Don is the single most knowledgeable writer on New Mexico law enforcement history, practices and personalities. He should be - he's worked for many years in New Mexico state and local policing. Bloodville has the steel on steel ring of unflinching truth told in a style and setting which makes this book difficult to lay aside for silliness such as meals or work. Outstandingly entertaining, thoroughly accurate and sobering as well - I recommend Bloodville to folks both inside and outside policing. -William Kuehl William Kuehl is a former New Mexico State Police captain, a retired municipal police administrator and has directed local, state and international law enforcement academies.

New Mexico: A Biographical Dictionary 1540 - 1980 includes New Mexico Historical Timeline

New Mexico: A Biographical Dictionary is the second volume of a multi-volume encyclopedia of the people of New Mexico-the 47th State in the Union. It is a cross section of people who have had an influence on life-and sometimes death-in the Land of Enchantment, from the time the fi rst Europeans arrived around 1540 until 1980. People considered for inclusion in the Dictionary come from both sexes, all races and many cultures. They come from every corner of the colony/territory/state (plus a few that never set foot in New Mexico). The basic qualification for inclusion is they have left a mark on the state, for good or ill. This is a research and information tool for anyone interested in the Land of Enchantment.

New Mexico & Politicians of the Past

For better or worse, politics have always played an important part in New Mexico life, beginning with the first Spanish explorers and conquerors in the 16th century. New Mexico Spanish Colonial Governors Juan Bautista de Anza and Fernando de la Concha, made and maintained peace with the Comanche, in the later years of the 18th century. Mexican Governor Albino Pérez, on the other hand, was murdered by his constituents in 1837. American Territorial Governor Lew Wallace left New Mexico in favor of Turkey in the face of his inability to deal with the violence of the Lincoln County War. Judge Joab Houghton had no legal training, and it showed. Judge Kirby Benedict consumed enough alcohol that President Abe Lincoln felt compelled to comment. Texas Judge Spruce Baird attempted to singlehandedly claim most of New Mexico for the Lone Star State. Judge David Leahy was shot, but not killed, by newspaper editor Carl Magee in a Las Vegas, New Mexico, hotel lobby. This book is a sampler of New Mexico political figures beginning in 1598. Most are uniquely New Mexican.

Old West Trivia Book

New Mexico, like all states and territories in the American West, has had its share of violence over the years, particularly between the time of the American Occupation in 1846 and statehood in 1912. It didn't end then, of course, and these pages record violent events that occurred as recently as the beginning of the 20th century's third quarter. Too often, fights resulting in death were nugatory in nature: a dispute over a flock of turkeys, a drunken revelry, one man's personal dislike of another, petty theft. Other fights were far more important: peace officers killed as they performed their duties, criminals shot down as they assaulted society in one way or another. There is nothing glorious or romantic about any of this: violence is ugly and unpleasant in every case. These were real people, sometimes cowardly in their demeanor, sometimes brave, and even heroic. Some died with their boots on; other did not. The common denominator was that more often than not, once the gun smoke cleared away, it became clear that someone was badly wounded, dying, or dead. Violence, it is said, results when attempts at civility have failed, but the fact is that more often than not, the attempt is not made.
