STATEHOOD OF AFFAIRS.
Bloomington, IN: iUniverse, Inc., 2011. First edition. Paperback. 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, 442 pgs. A new novel, imagines a compelling alternative history when New Mexico was at the center of an international conspiracy that threatened statehood. The unjust commitment of a woman to an insane asylum reveals a plot to find the missing Article X of the Treaty of Mesilla that could CHANGE HISTORY. If found before Arizona and New Mexico attain statehood in 1912, Mexico could legally recover lost border territories. Tensions rise as the U.S. and Mexico are on a collision course for control. Spanish-American War hero Adoloreto Centori - now a New Mexico statehood delegate - becomes embroiled in the events surrounding the conspiracy. Affairs of the heart complicate affairs of state; he shares love, but not the same side of the border, with his strongest opponent; Gabriella Zena. Explores New Mexico's last territorial days with modern day relevance. New. Item #24864
