New Mexico's Troubled Years: The Story Of The Early Territorial Governors by Calvin Horn is a historical book that explores the early years of New Mexico's territorial government. The book focuses on the first seven governors of the territory, from 1851 to 1869, and how they navigated the challenges of governing a diverse and often contentious population. Horn delves into the political and social climate of the time, including the conflicts between the Anglo-American settlers and the Hispanic population, as well as the ongoing struggle with Native American tribes.

He also explores the personal lives of the governors, including their relationships with their families and their struggles with illness and personal demons. Overall, New Mexico's Troubled Years offers a fascinating look at a pivotal time in the history of the Southwest and the challenges faced by those who sought to govern it.
