Description
." . . a great basic informal guide, recommended for frequent New Mexico motorists as well as armchair travelers. . . . This book could be a great starting point for organizing historical tours." ""Roadside New Mexico" provides the location, marker text, and additional information for hundreds of New Mexico's roadside markers. The markers, and therefore the book, describe the historical events, the people, and the geological features that make New Mexico, well, New Mexico. The book would be a nice addition to your car library as you travel through the state, but it's also a lot of fun to just thumb through." "Here is the ideal book for the traveler who will be visiting The Land of Enchantment or for the 'unhorsed reader' who visits the West from his or her easy chair. . . . Our recomendation is for those with a casual interest in America's past who wish to obtain a good grasp of the state's history to adopt this work; for those planning to visit the state this will be an indispensable tool which will make the visit much more meaningful."
