4.0 out of 5 stars
traveling through time viewing snippets of old El Paso life, January 9, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: El Paso Chronicles: A Record of Historical Events in El Paso, Texas (Hardcover)
Leon Metz's El Paso Chronicles is not written in the standard non-fiction style, but is a fascinating look at many different eras of El Paso history. It is a book that takes the reader on a chronological tour of the development of the El Paso Southwest and a look at many of the colorful characters who made this town. It is something you can read a little here, a little there, and not feel you are losing the plot. A good coffee break book.

5.0 out of 5 stars
fact filled book, July 1, 2005
This review is from: El Paso Chronicles: A Record of Historical Events in El Paso, Texas (Hardcover)
Dating back to 570 million b.c., it covers the El Paso region and the events that formed the area. After a few pages of general history leading up to the 1500's, the personal stories of the individuals who lived in EP (and those who just passed thru) comes to life. Mr Metz doesn't fabricate anything here - no assumed dialog or scenarios exist as all data comes from newspapers, libraries, or other documented sources. Excellent travel book as you can pick and choose the years you want to read about!
