Abstract

Born and educated in Missouri, Thomas Benton Catron made his home in New Mexico from July, 1866, until his death in 1921. For approximately half a century he played an important role not only in the politics of the territory and state, but also in its business and professional life as well. The story of his varied activities is preserved in his letter books and scrap books, as well as in contemporary newspapers. No attempt will be made in this study to cover his whole career, but merely the latter part of his public life.
