The author provides information about a Mexican wedding, the mining industry, and the issues of slavery that the territory faced. He explains why the United States Army never accepted camels as beasts of burden.
The frontier glory days and the problems that residents faced are featured. The politics of why New Mexico was a territory until 1912 is explained. This is a must-read book to understand what makes the Land of Enchantment a wonderful place to live.
