Appointed by President Rutherford B. Hayes, Crawfordsville native Lew Wallace served as Governor of New Mexico Territory from 1878 to 1881. His wife Susan Wallace also had a significant role in New Mexico’s history when she discovered a room filled with historic documents from New Mexico’s past in the Palace of the Governors. Alarmed at the condition of these documents, Susan alerted her husband about her discovery. Lew hired an archivist fluent in Spanish and English and secured the safe storage of these priceless documents.
