This book is an engaging narrative history of New Mexico's 19th and
20th century identities. Today officially known as the Land of
Enchantment, it has also been the Land without Law, the Land of
Heart's Desire, the Land of the Well Country, the Land of Pueblos,
and the Land of Sunshine. Since statehood in 1912 it has been
dubbed the Colorful State, the Volcano State, the Science State,
the Space State, and the Atomic State. Weigle explores all these
and more between the opening of the Santa Fe Trail in 1821 and the
Diamond Jubilee of Route 66 in 2001.

Founded in 1925 in Santa Fe, the Spanish Colonial Arts Society has
become central to the collection and promotion of traditional
Hispanic arts in New Mexico. Its extraordinary collection of some
twenty-five hundred objects, both secular and religious, comprises
the finest of its kind. Serving as the Society's 'museum on paper'
this exceptional two-volume set includes vividly illustrated essays
on New World santos, furniture, straw applique, tinwork, and
textiles. Essays on historical arts, the revival period, Spanish
Market, and contemporary masters of traditional Spanish arts record
the development of this historic collection from the early Spanish
New Mexicans to today's working craftsman. Books with slipcase.
First published in 1988, this award-winning compendium of New
Mexico's Indian, Hispanic and Anglo traditions is the state's first
complete folklore volume. Using a broad range of sources from
familiar texts to previously unpublished archival materials, the
authors offer examples of story, song, ritual and artefact and also
provide historic, thematic, and symbolic analyses of their
significance. Now available in a shorter, easier to use, updated
edition.
