註釋

After the American takeover of the Southwest in 1848, most Mexicans living in the conquered territories were reluctant to be incorporated into the new society. A significant minority, however, especially under the rancho aristocracy, apparently made the transition to life in the United States without too much trouble. In this book Manuel G. Gonzales examines this pro-American Hispanic elite during the course of the 19th century--a group glorified by some historians and maligned by others--in an effort to explain the complex motives for 'accommodation' of such individuals as José Antonio Navarro and Juan Seguín in Texas, Mariano Vallejo and Pablo de la Guerra in California, Donaciano Vigil and Manuel Antonio Chaves in New Mexico, and Estevan Ochoa and Mariano Samaniego in Arizona.
