Synopsis

Historically, the Southwest has attracted people with yearnings for freedom and adventure, people who define themselves as individuals. Women's fascination with their way of life and the need for self-expression led them to write of their experiences, providing them with a creative outlet and offering those who came later a unique window into the past.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Sharon Niederman is an award-winning Southwestern author, journalist and photographer living in Raton, New Mexico on the Colorado border, with her husband, Charles Henry, her Airedale terrier, Buckley, and English springer spaniel, Samantha, in an historic 1906 home.

When she isn't on the road documenting New Mexico traditions, Niederman likes to read, hike with her dogs, concoct recipes, cook, bake and give dinner parties, garden and forage. "My pantry shelves are packed with jellies and preserves made from chokecherries, wild plums and apricots, rose hips and figs from my own tree. This year I enjoyed dandelion salad and wild raspberries. Every time I discover a new source, I am grateful for the gift of abundance and feel like I've landed in the Garden of Eden," she says.

She is a member of the Society of American Travel Writers, Silver Spur CowBelles and past president of New Mexico Press Women, and she serves on the board of the New Mexico Farm & Ranch Heritage Museum in Las Cruces.
