OCTAVIANO A. LARRAZOLO: A MOMENT IN NEW MEXICO HISTORY

Seller's Description

Fine in very good dust jacket. Like New Hardbound in torn dust jacket. With the expertise of a master storyteller, Paul F. Larrazolo has written a most interesting book about his father. The elder Larrazolo was the only Mexican-born senator in the United States Congress. Here is the story of a ten-year-old boy, born in Mexico, brought to the United States by Bishop J. B. Salpointe for his education, who became first a schoolteacher, then a lawyer, district attorney for the state of Texas, fourth governor of New Mexico after its statehood, and finally, United States senator-the highest office open to the foreign born.
