Book excerpt: Excerpt from New Mexico Territorial Bureau of Immigration: Report on Bernalillo County Dear Sir: I have the honor herewith to present my report as Commissioner of Immigration for the county of Bernalillo. It was with considerable diffidence that I commenced the work of preparing the same, as I thoroughly appreciated and felt full well the great responsibility resting upon me, of faithfully performing my duty, by fairly and impartially presenting to the public an accurate and true statement of the vast resources and various advantages of this, the largest and richest county of New Mexico; and the most serious question which confronted me at the commencement of my labours was how I could best accomplish the end desired, do the subject ample justice, and give accurate and reliable reports upon the divers products and resources of Bernalillo county. Primarily, I commenced by drafting a report myself, after obtaining all the information I could from many of the older citizens of the county, but found this to be unsatisfactory to me, and I feared it would prove so to immigrants seeking information. I therefore concluded that the better course would be to call upon divers citizens of the county whom I knew to be most thoroughly conversant with the particular subjects about which I desired thorough and reliable information, and request them to write articles on those subjects; and as I met with hearty co-operation from a number of those upon whom I called, I ultimately adopted that plan, and have the pleasure of presenting herewith a series of papers prepared in accordance with the above design. There is but little that I can add to what will be found in the following pages, as the subjects treated on seem to me to cover generally the points regarding which persons contemplating locating in our Territory would be likely to seek information, more especially as all of these articles are written by gentlemen having a thorough and practical knowledge of the subject upon which they write, and are in every respect full and reliable.
