This is a book of scenes and portraits from three centuries of the society of Santa Fe, New Mexico, the city which was for so long the northernmost capital of Spain in the New World. Since its foundation in 1610, it has known a variety of social life and an enlivening contrast, and a commingling of several different races. This volume tries to describe that life in the sequence of time during periods of significant change and throughout a succession of conquests from early Spanish colonial times to the present.
