Los capitalistas: Hispano merchants and the Santa Fe trade: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Los capitalistas: Hispano merchants and the Santa Fe trade" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

This volume recounts the little-known history of Hispano merchants in the Santa Fe trade during the nineteenth century. Contrary to ethnic stereotypes, Hispanos were ambitious, savvy businessmen who practiced the most modern methods of international finance. Their complex transactions linked Santa Fe with Chihuahua City, St. Louis, New Orleans, Philadelphia, New York, London, and Paris. New Mexican merchants like millionaire Felipe Ch?vez were major figures in the Santa Fe trade until the coming of the railroad in 1880. The practices of Ch?vez and his competitors convincingly demonstrate why they referred to themselves as los capitalistas. In addition to maps illustrating the international network of the Santa Fe trade, five appendices present data of interest to historians and genealogists, including Mexican merchants who received commercial passports from the Santa Fe customs house, and census data from 1860 and 1870 on Hispano and non-Hispano merchants and freighters.

Acknowledgments
More than thirty years ago, I fell in love with the state and the people of New Mexico. However, I did not have the opportunity to explore their history until the Southwest Regional Office of the National Park Service at Santa Fe made possible the initial research for this work (through Contract CX 7029-0-0011). Art Gmez and Neil Mangum, who at that time worked in the Santa Fe office, offered constant encouragement and supported the publication of an earlier version of this volume.
My deepest gratitude goes to Susan L. Flader, who recognized from the earlier drafts the importance of looking at the Santa Fe Trail from a broad geographical perspective. Her perceptive and thorough comments greatly enhanced the quality of the manuscript. I would like to acknowledge the help from Marc Simmons, an inspiration for all who care about the history of New Mexico and, particularly, the Santa Fe Trail. Marc made available to me materials from his exceptional library and offered guidance and support from the beginning. I greatly appreciate the assistance I received from Mark L. Gardner. For hours over the phone, he and I discussed every conceivable topic associated with the Santa Fe Trail, and he generously shared research notes and documents that have greatly strengthened this work. I wish to thank Daniel Tyler of Colorado State University, who provided essential advice during the early stages of the project. In addition, I owe a great debt to my friends from the Denver Service Center of the National Park Service, William Patrick O'Brien and Jere Krakow, who listened to me and commented on earlier versions, and Dana Kinsey, who assisted with the mapping.
I want to recognize those who in various degrees contributed to the

formulation and refinement of the ideas presented in the manuscript: Thomas B. Alexander, Thomas Bentrup, Liston Leyendecker, Richard Forry, Oakah Jones, the late Myra Ellen Jenkins, John Paige, Ronald W. Johnson, Stanley Hordes, Sandra Jaramillo, Richard Salazar, and David Sandoval.
I am indebted to the excellent staffs of numerous research institutions and archives: Southwest Research Center at the University of New Mexico Zimmerman Library; New Mexico State Records Center and Archives at Santa Fe; Rio Grande Historical Collections at New Mexico State University; Special Collections at the University of Texas at El Paso; Special Collections at the Colorado State University; Denver Public Library; Museum of New Mexico at Santa Fe; Colorado Historical Society; National Archives at Denver; and Socorro County Historical Society, New Mexico. I also extend thanks to the University of New Mexico Press.
I would like to thank my parents, who taught me the importance of persistence and hard work. Most of all, I wish to acknowledge the support from my husband Terry and my sons Joseph and Gabriel, who helped me put everything into perspective.
