Editorial Reviews: Originally published in 1992 and available now only from UNM Press, An Illustrated History of New Mexico combines more than two hundred photographs and a concise history to create an engaging, panoramic view of New Mexico’s fascinating past. For thousands of years various cultures have filtered into New Mexico, and each has adapted to the land. New Mexico has become a cosmopolitan society of many nationalities and ethnicities, all influenced by those who came before, and all part of a distinctive New Mexican culture that thrives today.
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Not what I expected, but still good Comment: This book is a collection of historic photographs from New Mexico, beginning with the earliest explorers from Mexico and United States. The text is thin, culled from various primary sources. This book should not be considered a narrative history of the state. The photography is revealing and interesting, but is almost exclusively from before 1940. Those looking for a proper scholarly history of New Mexico should consider alternatives. Rather than "An Illustrated History of New Mexico", I would suggest the title, "A History of Early New Mexico in Illustration." More Reviews
