Miguel Antonio Otero was born in St. Louis, Mo. in 1859. Otero's first job was working
as a bookkeeper with the family firm, Otero, Sellar & Company. He entered politics
in 1883 as City Treasurer of Las Vegas. In 1897 he was appointed Territorial Governor of
New Mexico, remained so until 1906. He remained active in politics throughout his life.
By 1920 he switched from the Republican to the Democratic Party. He also had a career as
a writer. His stories about his experiences in territorial New Mexico were printed in
national magazines and several of his books were published.
Miguel Otero died in 1944. To distinguish among three generations, Miguel Antonio Otero
(1859-1944), may be referred to as Governor Otero; his father, Miguel Antonio Otero
(1829-1882), may be referred to as Don Otero; and his son, Miguel Antonio Otero
(1892-1977), may be called Judge Otero or Mike Otero.
Collection includes photographs of Governor Miguel Antonio Otero, his family, and
friends. There are many portraits of prominent New Mexicans, notably politicians, on
card mounts, and autographed portraits of Theodore and Franklin D. Roosevelt and William
McKinley. Events depict political parades and campaigns, including Pres. Theodore
Roosevelt's inauguration. Among the buildings are: the Otero residence and the Gov.'s
Mansion in Santa Fe (1939), the old State Capitol (1908), and postcards of UNM buildings
by Laura Gilpin. A snapshot album contains pictures of the Otero family in New Mexico
and in Panama, including game fishing. One group of pictures deals with the saga of
Billy the Kid, and includes people and places relevant to his story. The two color
negatives are of Billy's spurs and knife. Many regional photographic studios are
represented; these and studios in other parts of the U.S. may be identified from the
card mounts.
Some images from the Miguel Antonio Otero Photograph Collection are available on
New Mexico's Digital Collections.
