New Mexico Historical Biographies is an encyclopedia of the people of New Mexico—the 47th State in the Union. It is a cross-section of people who have had an influence on life—and sometimes death—in the Land of Enchantment, from the time before the first Europeans arrived around 1540 until today. There are entries for over 1,500 people in New Mexico’s history. Possibly the most important book on New Mexico history since Ralph Emerson Twitchell — 100 years ago. What People are Saying about this Book The starting place for many people seeking to make the acquaintance of New Mexicans of yesteryear. I am almost certain everyone who reads it will learn something new about New Mexico history and enjoy immensely themselves in the bargain.—Rick Hendricks, New Mexico State Historian This comprehensive anthology will prove to be invaluable to historians, history writers, and readers of all sorts. More than just biographies, it offers great reading for anyone interested in New Mexico history. One can turn to any page and find a great story, and it will be a rare reader or historian who can claim to have already known about all those represented.—Mike Stevenson, President, Historical Society of New Mexico
