But, with his customary decision of character, he had put his hand to the plough and did not intend to look back, confident in his admin- istrative ability and self-reliance in the accomplishment of what was before him.
10 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF Governor Lane left St. Louis on the 31st day of July, 1852, and, as appears from his diary, after a short detention by sickness which overtook him on the plains, he arrived in Santa Fe on the 9th of September following, and was inaugurated on the 13th o
...f the same month.
He had no sooner taken the executive office than he began to realize the difficulties of his position. He had naturally expected aid and support from the military authorities, but Col. Sumner, in command of the military department, retired to Albuquerque, taking with him all the troops with the exception of a small guard, two days before the governor's inauguration. Colonel Sumner took occasion also to reprove and reprimand Col. Brooks for firing a salute in the plaza when the ceremony of installing the governor was performed, saying that he (Colonel Sumner) "wished it to be dis- tinctly understood that the civil government in New Mexico was not to depend in any way upon the military authority, " and that he "wished Colonel Brooks to consider his forces only as a guard for the United States military stores.
