Signs for the Governor Bent Museum and house in Taos, New Mexico. Charles Bent served as the first Governor of the territory of New was Governor for only a year. He was killed by an angry mob porotesting against America's possession of the territory in in 1847. His wife and children escaped by making a hole in the adobe wall. However in the UK his name would be unfortunate. The word "bent" in some contexts can mean corrupt or dishonest - not the best name for a politician!
