El Gringo: or New Mexico and Her People

In this classic work, W.W.H. Davis describes New Mexico as he experienced it shortly after it became a Territory of the United States in 1850. He recounts a brief history of the land and its people, and describes his journeys around the Territory, Santa Fé as it was in the early 1850's, the Pueblo Indians, and the Navajo Indians. This delightful and informative book contains all thirteen of the original illustrations contained in the original book, originally published in 1857.
