Page vii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I wish to thank everyone who advised and encouraged me during the long process of researching and writing this work. I am grateful to Linda Hall and John Kessell for guiding me through the thesis that would eventually become this book. Special thanks go to Robert Himmerich y Valencia, whose encouragement and advice I sought on numerous occasions and who brought the manuscript to the attention of Durwood Ball at The University of New Mexico Press. I am grateful to Robert Trrez at the New Mexico State Records Center and Archives for his interest in the early stages of my research in the field of homicide and justice in Mexican- Era New Mexico and for sharing with me his own research in Spanish colonial and territorial New Mexican justice. I wish to thank Charles R. Cutter for his careful reading of the manuscript. His expertise on Spanish colonial justice and Spanish legal terminology of this era was invaluable, and I appreciate all of his comments and recommendations. I also appreciate the time spent by various people at campus computer labs (especially Paul and Cloe) who helped me with necessary technical support. My thanks go to Durwood Ball at the University of New Mexico Press and to the copyeditor Louise Cameron for her careful scrutiny of the manuscript.
