Hard Back. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. First Edition. 176 Pages Indexed. Green boards with silver spine lettering. New Mexico was the forty-seventh state admitted to the Union so in that sense it is a young state, but in another sense it is very old. Spanish explorers and missionaries first visited New Mex…ico in 1540. In 1598 a permanent Spanish colony was established-nine years before the English made their first permanent settlement at Jamestown, and twenty-two years before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock. Centuries before the Spaniards came to New Mexico an Indian civilization of farmers, hunters, warriors, and craftsmen flourished here. They built large villages where some multi-storied dwellings had as many as eight hundred rooms. New Mexico was ruled by Spain, then Mexico, and finally it became part of the United States. For a brief period the Confederate flag flew over the capital. New Mexico is a large state of many plateaus, pine-clad mountains, green valleys, and high desert country. Its spectacular natural beauty, ancient historical background, and heritage of Indian, Spanish, and American cultures make it one of the most interesting states in the Union. Contents: Before Recorded History, Spanish Conquest and Colonization, and New Mexico Becomes Part of the United States.
