One scrapbook of newspaper clippings related to Bernard Rodey's two terms as Representative of the Territory of New Mexico in the U.S. Congress., 1902-1926

 Item — Box: 1

Scope and Content

From the Collection: The original collection contains one scrapbook of newspaper articles kept by Rodey during his terms in Congress. The articles originate from several newspapers around the nation. Since Rodey saved only clippings that contained his name, the scrapbook is a summary of the issues that Rodey advocated during his tenure in Congress. The majority of articles relate to New Mexico's bid for statehood, but some document Rodey's advocacy for public trust lands and state debts. The scrapbook covers the time period of 1902-1904. No explanations or writings by Rodey are contained in the book.

Four oversized documents were added to the collection in November 2006.
