Summary "Forty Years at El Paso, 1858-1898" by W. W. Mills is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The narrative captures Mills' personal recollections of life in El Paso, including its social, political, and military dynamics during a transformative era. The work likely centers on the author's experiences as a Union supporter in a region riddled with conflict, detailing the daily life, events, and notable figures he encountered. The opening of the book introduces the author, W. W. Mills, as he recounts his journey to El Paso in 1858, painting vivid images of the small adobe town and its predominantly Mexican populace. Mills shares his early impressions and business ventures, providing context about El Paso's geographical significance and the socio-political climate of the time. He discusses various events, including instances of violence, local politics, and the presence of military forces as tensions escalated ahead of the Civil War. Through personal anecdotes, the narrative sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the complexities of frontier life amid war and emerging societal changes.
