From the dust jacket: "Here is the living history of a unique city as recreated by one of America's most interesting historians and most distinguished novelists. It is the chronicle of three stirring centuries of social change, from the days when Santa Fe was Spain's northernmost capital in the New World to the present. Years of research in historical archives have given Mr. Horgan an intimate knowledge of Santa Fe past. In this brilliant and original book we see how the different peoples of Santa Fe-Indian, Spanish, Mexican and Anglo-American-have contributed their blood and effort to make the city which is their monument." If you have some questions pls. e-mail me.
