Review:

"Probably no other volume exists that better suggests the breadth of visual resources depicting New Mexico's history."

"An absolute must for anyone with an interest in the expansive panorama of our past."

Probably no other volume exists that better suggests the breadth of visual resources depicting New Mexicos history.

"This concise history combines more than 200 photographs to create a panoramic view of New Mexico's fascinating past."

"This is a wonderful book. . . . The book is more than an illustrated history of the Land of Enchantment. It's a book full of quotable historical quotes."

This is history as it should be presented, unfiltered and unvarnished, tapping directly into the original sources, without a lot of embellishment. . . . It invites readers to share in the excitement of history in the making.

"The book is factual and readable and fills a noticeable void in regional scholarship. Chávez provides an enjoyable, no-nonsense illustrated history that teachers, students, scholars, and history devotees will embrace for years to come."
