Marion Dargan was born on March 13, 1888, in Columbia, South Carolina. He came to the
University of New Mexico as a history professor in 1929 after receiving degrees from
Chicago and Columbia Universities and teaching in Illinois and Texas. His specialty was
U.S. colonial history. After coming to UNM he switched his research to New Mexico
history. In 1941 he was nominated as a fellow of the Historical Society of New Mexico.
He died on September 3, 1952 in Albuquerque, N.M. following a long illness.
The collection primarily contains notes taken in preparation for writing, "New Mexico's
Fight for Statehood, 1895-1912," which appeared in the New Mexico
Historical Review from 1939 to 1943. It includes biographical data on Miguel
Antonio Otero, Harvey Butler Fergusson, Thomas B. Catron, Herbert Hagerman, Shandon
Bernard Rodey and others; excerpts from newspapers; quotations from documents; and
correspondence with those involved in the statehood fight answering questions put to
them by Dargan (particularly M. A. Otero). Also included are outlines of courses, tests,
and essays turned in by students, and other papers pertaining to Dargan's professional
duties as a member of the Department of History at the University of New Mexico.
