Description
This book covers the legal process and institutions from the early settlement by the Spanish to 1941–a period of about 300 years. The author has been highly selective in dealing with each period. There have been some incidents in the clashing and fusing of cultures. The accounting of the legal heritage of El Paso naturally centers around the activities of lawyers and judges. Their influence in the settlements at or near the Pass of the North is a significant chapter in the history of the American Southwest. This book would make a great gift for anyone in the legal profession in the Southwest.
