The time of the gringo 
Elliott Arnold 
 - New York  Alfred A. Knopf  1953 
 - 612 p 
<br/><br/> Faithful to historical facts, the author writes a dramatic historical novel around the time of the fall of the then Mexican province of New Mexico to the United States army. It includes rabble-rousers and tyrants, sex and intrigue all under the elegant atmosphere of old Santa Fe with tense desert marches, battles, absorbing intrigue and an overpowering and near-tragic love story.
