Author, photographer, historian, archeologist, and preservationist,
Charles Fletcher Lummis stood tall in the affections of American
Southwesterners at the turn of the 20th century. A flamboyant
figure of enormous energy, he championed Indian rights and Hispanic
culture, while introducing Easterners, through his many books, to
the rich heritage of New Mexico, Arizona, and California. After
years of fading from view, the large Lummis legacy is being
rediscovered. His works are coming back into print and in 2006 the
city of Los Angeles inaugurated an annual Lummis Day Festival. This
little book can acquaint readers with a remarkable recorder of
history and can help to reawaken interest in his efforts to
preserve the distinctive cultures of the American Southwest.
Additionally, this book contains, as its first chapter, the
complete contents of the classic "Two Southwesterners: Charles
Lummis & Amado Chaves" by Marc Simmons, originally published by
San Marcos Press in 1968 and long unavailable until now. Marc
Simmons, besides being an aficionado of the writings of Charles F.
Lummis, is himself a historian and prolific author. In 1993 he was
knighted by order of the King of Spain for his publications on
Spanish colonial history of the Southwest. Among his most recent
books are "New Mexico Mavericks," "Stalking Billy the Kid," and a
new edition of "Southwestern Colonial Ironwork," all published by
Sunstone Press.
