Description

Spanish settlers founded Albuquerque in 1706, making it the third of only four villas (towns) in colonial New Mexico. Situated within the Rio Abajo along a wide turn at the Rio Grande, the settlement developed from a small farming community into New Mexico’s largest, most up to date city. Many notable women and men participated on this remarkable growth, lending their talents and sacrificing their time, energy, and on occasion their very lives. Dozens of these legendary figures are portrayed on this unique book, with chapters devoted to people who played vital roles in politics and diplomacy; the military; law and order; religion and education; art and literature; culture and entertainment; business and tourism; health, science, technology, and space; and sports. A final chapter describes a number of of Albuquerque’s sung and unsung heroes. The result is a collage of a Western city filled with diversity, tradition, and cultural pride.
