Description

Churches have played an enormous role in New Mexico’s culture and history because the earliest days of its colonization. Lavishly illustrated with more than 100 photographs by Daniel Nadelbach, Historic New Mexico Churches tells the tale of New Mexico via its churches: their history and legends, and the individuals who built them. From the huge mission churches built by the Franciscan friars right through the times of the conquistadors during the smaller adobe chapels lovingly created by Spanish settlers to the grand Gothic and Romanesque edifices erected by New Mexico’s first bishop, the book leads readers on a journey via war and famine, growth and expansion, riot and reconciliation.
