Hard Back. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. Dwiggins, W. A. - Typography and Binding Design (illustrator). First Edition Stated. 408 Pages plus a six page comprehensive Index. No defects noted. Here is the full-length portrait of New Mexico that Erna Fergusson, of all native New Mexican writers, was destined to give us. It is a living book about living realities, and in it history is employed only to make clear how the facts of today came to be what they are. This book about one of the most varied and fascinating of the forty-eight states is divided into three sections: "Indian," "Spanish," and "Gringo." In each section the conditions and appearances of the present day are made vivid as they are derived from the past. From primitive Indians to Spanish grandees, cattle rustlers, and atomic scientists at Los Alamos, Erna Fergusson's emphasis is on people, but Jew Mexico's magnificent landscape is nowhere neglected. The result is a brightly colored pageant of three peoples which is both affectionate and accurate. From Albuquerque to Zuni, from Alamogordo and Carlsbad to Santa Fe and Taos, here is New Mexico in an absorbing, enlightening, and satisfying book. Illustrated with 26 photographs and two maps. Erna Fergusson was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico, in 1888. Her maternal grandfather had reached Santa Fe by wagon train in 1848; her father, from Alabama by way of Virginia, had gone west in stagecoach days. She herself was graduated from the University of New Mexico, after which she took a master's degree at Columbia University. During the First World War, as representative of the Red Cross, she came to know every county and almost every town of her state by intimate experience. Later she started a tourist bureau there, and became known as the first woman dude wrangler.
