Larson provides the answers to this question in a thorough and comprehensive account of the territory&’s extraordinary six-decade struggle for statehood.This book is no mere chronology of political moves, however.

Not only politicians but ranchers, outlaws, soldiers, newspapermen, Indians, merchants, lawyers, and people from every walk of life were involved. This is a book for the reader who is interested in any aspect of southwestern territorial history.
