Sinopsis

This delightful collection presents an oral history of Santa Fe, New Mexico from the perspective of various inhabitants. The histories include descriptions of political events, commercial history, and especially family stories; the latter providing the best means of getting a sense of Santa Fe's diverse population. The points of view represented include the artist community, the Hispanic immigrants, the Native Americans, politicians, the Catholic Church, ranchers, and retirees. La Farge, a Santa Fe writer, conducted most of the interviews in the 1980s. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Críticas

"The beauty of the book is that each speaker is allowed to make the final determination. The book will be valuable for anyone wanting to gain a perspective on [Santa Fe's] history. It will be especially enjoyable for those who know the respondents and remember the long-dead Santa Feans of their stories."

Reseña del editor
