Coles An Illustrated history of New Mexico at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
Before the railways, before statehood, New Mexico was already a crossroads of empire, faith, trade, and survival. New Mexico was never quiet. An Illustrated History of New Mexico gathers early discovery and settlement narratives, the making of the New Mexico Territory, and the hard negotiations of the nineteenth century southwest into an illustrated state history designed for real-world consultation as much as for reading pleasure. Alongside the sweep of southwest exploration history, it offers a historical biography collection: biographical mentions of New Mexico pioneers, civic builders, soldiers, clergy, and entrepreneurs, supported by territorial era portraits and period illustrations that return faces to names. For anyone tracing genealogy and local history, the volume works as a regional history reference rich in leads; for a students research reference, it anchors timelines, places, and the texture of everyday public life. Dip in for one vivid profile, or read on for the long view. The emphasis on people and place makes it as compelling on the sofa as in the archive. Its significance lies in how it captures a moment when the region was being defined in print: part wild west history book, part civic record, and part gallery of American frontier biographies. For casual readers it is a direct, image-led entry into New Mexico's past; for classic-history collectors, a handsome piece of Western Americana. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
