NEW MEXICO: AN ILLUSTRATED HISTORY (Hippocrene
Books, New York NY)
|
New Mexico's history is as varied and intriguing as
its magnificent landscapes. Archaeological evidence shows that the area was the site of a prehistoric civilization that may
have been the oldest in North America. In later times, three cultures -- Native American, Spanish and Anglo -- coexisted there.
Throughout New Mexico's territorial period, desperados and cattle rustling led to colorful tales of conflict. Complemented
by over 50 illustrations, photographs and maps, this history of New Mexico is a concise yet comprehensive chronicle of the
state, from the prehistoric days of the Paleo-Indians to the present. Travelers, students and generally interested readers
will find it an ideal resource.
