New Mexico's Historical Marker Project has served an important part in the way New Mexico tells its story to visitors, residents, and future generations. Lining the miles of highways and roads across its beautiful countryside, each marker has a unique story that provides those passing by with information about an intriguing historical moment or influential individual in the area. Thanks to the New Mexico Historical Women's Marker Initiative, this program has taken on a new role to inform motorists of the many historical facts about the great women of the state. It is easy to become inspired by the many New Mexican women who fill these pages. They come from varied cultures and backgrounds, but they all share pioneer status in their mutual quests to make a lasting impact on the lives of New Mexico families and communities. These women serve as examples through their deeds, accomplishments, and trials. They are not just mothers, daughters, sisters and friends; they are military service women, business leaders, healers, and educators. The New Mexico Historical Marker Project serves as a lasting memento of their great accomplishments and contributions to the rich and colorful history of the "Land of Enchantment." New Mexico has many reasons to be proud of these women and their contributions. Phil T. Archuletta is a native New Mexican, born in El Rito. He is the CEO of P & M Signs, Inc. in Mountainair, New Mexico. Since 1970, he has been involved with the manufacturing of the New Mexico Historical Markers. He is passionate about sharing the stories of the state's colorful history. He serves on the Board of the National Hispanic Cultural Center in Albuquerque and is the author of "Traveling New Mexico," also published by Sunstone Press. Rosanne Roberts Archuletta was born in Philadelphia. She, like so many of the women in this book, fell in love with New Mexico. She is the Principal of R. M. Roberts and Associates, LLC, a human resources consulting firm.

The author had already spent ten years compiling the information that went into this history when the first volume was published. Upon its completion he declared the work to be, and his contemporaries agreed, the most complete of its kind ever assembled. The rich Scottish heritage can be successfully traced thanks to the practice of bestowing hereditary surnames, many of which found a permanent record in the many charters and other public deeds which still exist today. One of the objects of this series is to not only explain the origin of these surnames but to deliver an account of the families as well as the distinguished individuals within the families that bore them. The baronies of Scotland, associated with hereditary jurisdiction, were viewed as just short of regal and as such, an account of these honors provides an account of the territorial supremacy of a name and a family. A necessary supplement to the history of families is the history of titles which are key to understanding the social and political incidents that shaped the country. Above all other aspects perhaps the greatest light can be shed upon the Scottish nation when one studies the biographies of its most distinguished natives. This series embraces a wide range of people, comprising some names not met with in history but whose skill, labor, and genius have added to the greatness of their nation. Arranged alphabetically, there is a complete account of the surnames, titles, baronies, and general biographies of Scotland. The Scottish Nation is also richly decorated with autographs, seals, genealogical and titular tables as well as an abundance of illustrations and portraits, all taken from original or authentic sources. The author also pays particular attention to the literary accomplishments in Scottish history, creating, as he says, "a Bibliotheca Scottica." This series is truly a valuable collection of the antiquities, the literature, and the general and family histories of Scotland. Volume G-L: In this volume comprising the letters G, H, I, J, K, and L you will find interesting, well written, and comprehensive accounts. There are over 140 "G" through "L" surnames in this volume.

This series is truly a valuable collection of the antiquities, the literature, and the general and family histories of Scotland. Volume D-F: In this volume comprising the letters D, E, and F you will find interesting, well written, and comprehensive accounts of, among many others, James Dalrymple, first Viscount Stair, who was an eminent lawyer and statesman; David the First, King of Scots, a monarch who, by his admirable capacity for government, and skill in availing himself of opportunities of aggrandizing his kingdom, may be truly said to be the founder of the monarchy on its modern basis; Jane Elliot, author of one of the three lyrics of the song The Flowers of the Forest. It is said she composed it in a carriage with her brother, after a conversation about the Battle of Flodden, and a bet that she could not make a ballad on the subject. Also within the "E's" you will find the surname Erskine, fabled to have originated when a Scotsman, during a battle, cut off the head of a Danish chief and with the head and dagger in his hands exclaimed to his king, Malcolm the Second, in Gaelic, Eris Skene, alluding to the head and dagger. Malcolm then gave him the name of Erskine. Over sixty-five surnames are covered in this volume.

The names of ancient Egyptian kings such as Cheops, Akhenaten, and Ramesses II have become part of popular culture. Yet, for all the tombs and statuary that have survived over the millennia, surprisingly little remains that speaks to the workings of government, cabals in the palace, political factions, and the private lives of the royal families. In The Book of the Pharaohs, Pascal Vernus and Jean Yoyotte offer an indispensable, basic reference to the full human reality of royal Egypt.

The Book of the Pharaohs is an encyclopedia made up of short essays on the pharaohs themselves, as well as on places, dynasties, personages, subjects, and themes relating to the kings and their rule. Entries range from "Adoratrices" (priestesses of Hathor, the Egyptian Aphrodite, whose role was to arouse the erotic impulse in the creator gods) and "Amarna" (the capital created by the heretic pharaoh Akhenaten) to "Scorpion" (who ruled before the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt) and "Zero Dynasty" (the designation for pre-pharaonic Egypt). In addition, Vernus and Yoyotte include a substantial essay on the sources for Egyptian history, a bibliography of books for general readers, and a chronological table that organizes the major periods of Egyptian history and notes the most illustrious royal names from each.

Dreaming Bears is the true story of the rare friendship that develops between a young medical student with deep roots in the South and an elderly Indian couple in the wilds of northeast Alaska. In 1961, Mike Holloway, his brother Ted, and a college friend set out from South Carolina to spend the summer hiking in Arctic Alaska, intending to live off the land. They end up in the homeland of the Gwich'in - the northernmost Indians in North America.
The young men charter a small plan into the isolated village of Venetie, where the tribal chief directs them to the remote cabins of Johnny and Sarah Frank. The elderly Gwich'in couple lived a thirty-five-mile walk from the village and more than a hundred air miles from the closest road. Johnny was a well-known storyteller and former medicine man. Sarah made their home welcoming with warm, calm kindness - her well-worn hands seldom idle.
His rich encounters in Gwich'in country deepen Mike's love of wild land and his respect for those who depend upon it for their survival. The experience alters his life. Mike becomes the adopted grandson of Johnny and Sarah, returning to Alaska as a doctor and advocate for the land and its people.

In 1952, when American college teachers John and Mildred Adams with their two small children sailed past the Statue of Liberty on their way to Egypt and a new, unpredictable life, they were trembling with excitement. At last, a chance to see the world Something of that thrill persisted through their eight eventful years in the Middle East: in Egypt, Iraq, and Lebanon. Those years in the Middle East were a brief period of relative stability, prosperity, and friendliness toward the West, just before the whole area was violently torn apart by wars and terrorism. In that almost Golden Age, traditional patterns of culture-manners, customs, political and social institutions, loyalties, taboos, ideals, ethical standards, religious beliefs-were clearer than they can be in a time of crisis and disruption like ours. This book's story of the Adams family's life in that Middle East of half a century ago is dramatically timely today. Many Americans are sick of the apparently endless violence and terrorism in the Middle and Near East and in other places (including the United States) where Islamic cultures clash with non-Islamic ones-conflict in most of which the United States is deeply involved. "How did we get into this mess?" they ask, "and how will it end?" Historians point to the ignorance of Americans, including our leaders, about the Middle and Near East and Islam and to the disastrous consequences of that ignorance. They tell us that stability and peace will never come to those conflicted areas unless that ignorance is replaced by understanding, respect, and good will. Sharing in the Adams family's story the reader can gain that valuable insight and consequently, perhaps, sympathy and goodwill for all the people involved.
