The most comprehensive examination of the Santa Fe Ring to date. Whether or not one agrees with the author's analysis and conclusions, he has succeeded in amassing a vast amount of information and sources that will provide scholars and general readers alike with enough food for thought to last a long time.--Robert Tórrez, former State Historian of New Mexico and author of UFO's Over Galisteo and Other Stories of New Mexico's History
This long over-due book-length study of the infamous Santa Fe Ring puts New Mexico's territorial politics in the broader context of corruption and politics in western states and at the national level during the Gilded Age. Caffey shows an impressive attention to detail, such as with his important appendix listing members of the Santa Fe Ring over several decades. A notable contribution to the study of the territorial period and the dynamics leading up to statehood in 1912.--Laura Gómez, Professor of Law, UCLA, author of Manifest Destinies: The Making of the Mexican American Race
