Written by the foremost historian on New Mexico, this popular
fourth-grade-level textbook introduces the young reader to New
Mexicos past and present. When students finish reading this book,
they will better understand how different cultures shaped the way
we live today as well as know about major events and key people in
New Mexicos development.
Simmons approaches history as a window to the past. That is,
students come to understand they are part of a long flow of human
events. This book surveys the experiences of first the Indians,
then the Spanish, and finally those people who have come to New
Mexico since it has been part of the United States.
Supplementing each of the eleven chapters are maps and
photographs, about a third of them in color.
A separate teacher/student resource guide is complimentary with
class sets of 20 or more books. The resource guide includes lesson
plans keyed to the states instructional standards for social
studies, student activities and exercises, as well as tests and
answer keys. Copies are available for sale at $15.00 each when
schools do not purchase 20 books or wish additional copies. Call
800-249-7737 or 505-277-4810 to order.
Reading level: grade 4.
