About this ebook
There is no greater range of history in New Mexico than that found within 15 miles surrounding the village of Pecos. This book explores the last 1,000 years of that history, which includes many cultures and events, such as Native Americans, Spanish explorers, a Civil War battle, the Santa Fe Trail, railroads, and Route 66, as well as miners, saloon keepers, archaeologists, tourists, important architects, and even Hollywood stars.
