This book was conceived and written to answer the often heard question: Is there an up-to-date history of New Mexico--one I can give someone as a gift or read by myself? New Mexico is the best single volume presentation of the fascinating succession of events and characters that make up the state's past. This is regional history at its best: thorough, readable, well-illustrated, and sure to inform and delight.

New Mexico surveys the entire history of the land and its people, beginning with prehistoric times and ending with the present day. The authors examine the three main periods in New Mexico's history--the Spanish, the Mexican, and the Anglo-American--and recreate what it meant to live and work in each of the eras. Here, too, are many of the legendary figures of New Mexican history--the men and women whose courage, foresight, or notoriety is indelibly etched in the state's past.
