From the Paper:

"Although the events that resulted in the treaty included numerous colorful characters on both sides, the key players in the treaty were relatively few. For instance, in his book, Land Grants and Lawsuits in Northern New Mexico, Ebright (1994) reports that the key players in the treaty included Secretary of State James Buchanan, American General Stephen Watts Kearny and a representative for the U.S. in the negotiations, Nicholas Trist. Other key players included the Mexican commissioners appointed to negotiate on behalf of Mexico (Ebright 28), who were Luis P. Cuevas, Bernardo Couto, and Miguel Atristain (Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo 4)."
