About This Item
Albuquerque, New Mexico: University of New Mexico Press - A Coyote Book, 1969. Third Printing . Trade Paperback. Very Good. 5" x 8. 236 pages. This is a reprint of a book first copywrited in 1893. Account of people and places in New Mexico. Previous owner's name lightly written at top of front cover.. No other marks or stamps. Very slight spine cock.Tight square book with faultless interior pages. New Mexico is an enchanted land that challenges description, but in 1893 a young Harvard man picked up that challenge. This book, written about the land of Pretty Soon, still stands as on of the best. In fact the author was the first to lable that region as The Southwest. He tells how he lived with the myusterious Penitentes at the foot of snow-capped, lava-based Mount Taylor. He did not merely visit Isleta Pueblo, he lived there. He climed to the sky city of Acoma, and with the archaeologist Bandelier prowled the time-forgotten ruins in Frijoles Canyon. Lummis, who went on to California to found the Southwest Museum, was knighted by the King of Spain for research in Spanish-American history, and became one of the greatest Southwestern writers. In these pages you see again the secret, sacred crucifixion rites of the Penitentes, ride the last war trail in pursuit of Geronimo's Apaches, and hear the old Spanish ballads as Lummis captured them. Attractive ad above rural scene sketch on front cover.
