Sobre este artículo
Tucson: University of Arizona Press, 1997. Paperback. Fine to near fine(+) with fainest of edge-wear.. xxii, 272 pages, 40 unnumbered pages of plates: illustrations, map; 25 cm. "The oral histories collected for this book were conducted for the Ghost Ranch History Project"--Page xiv./ Includes bibliographical references (pages 257-263) and index. Inscribed and signed by author.
Contents: Avéshu pije: "up Abiquiu way" -- Abiquiu and La Tierra de Guerra -- Pioneers of the Piedra Lumbre -- The fearing time -- The old Spanish trail -- isenchantment and disinheritance -- A land of beauty and evil -- Land of beginnings and endings -- Between green and dry -- Ghost Ranch -- The good country -- Bombs and bones.
Reading almost like a novel, this book, says writer Marc Simmons, "gives the reader not only the history but the feel of this unusual place." Georgie O'Keeffe captured on canvas as the valley's cliffs, canyons, and turquoise sides, but her life and death here are only a small part of the centuries-long saga. Here, too, are Pueblo Indians, Utes, Navajos, Jicarilla Apaches, Hispanos, and Anglos - many lives tangled together, yet also separate and distinct. Indispensable for travelers, pure pleasure for history buffs and general readers, these pages are a magic carpet to a magic land: Abiquiu, Ghost Ranch, the Valley of Shining Stone
