Since statehood was achieved in Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico and Utah, 322 men and 2 women have been executed. The first of these post-statehood executions took place in Nevada on October 30, 1868, and the last took place in Arizona on October 26, 2010. This text provides a case history for each execution, including details of the crimes committed, pursuits and captures, the particulars of the legal processes, and the executions. There have been five methods of execution available in these states, and death by hanging, lethal gas, electrocution, firing squad and lethal injection are all represented.
