荷西‧馬紐‧蓋樂葛斯 (José Manuel Gallegos) 生於18151030

荷西‧蓋樂葛斯在美國與墨西哥交戰的時候成為一個神父 (美墨戰爭發生於1846年) 。當戰爭在1848年結束後,新墨西哥成為美國的領土。蓋樂葛斯在1851年被選為新墨西哥的第一任地方長官。

同年,蓋樂葛斯因為拒絕接受法國宗教領袖的指示,而暫時中止他的神職身份。蓋樂葛斯於是將更多的精力投入到政治生涯裡。


José Gallegos became a priest around the same time that the United States went to war with Mexico (the U.S.-Mexican War started in 1846). When the war ended in 1848, Nuevo México became the U.S. territory of New Mexico. Gallegos was elected to New Mexico's first Territorial Council in 1851.

That same year, Gallegos was suspended from the priesthood for refusing to accept the authority of a French religious superior. Gallegos now put increasing energy into his political life.
