5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome book for history buffs!
This is easily one of the best New Mexico history books I have in my collection. I started collecting NM history books years ago when I was assigned (quite our of the blue) 2 sections of NM history at the high school I was teaching at. The photos are awesome and the content is rich and detailed. A must buy for New Mexico History buffs.

This book is a collection of historic photographs from New Mexico, beginning with the earliest explorers from Mexico and United States. The text is thin, culled from various primary sources. This book should not be considered a narrative history of the state.

The photography is revealing and interesting, but is almost exclusively from before 1940. Those looking for a proper scholarly history of New Mexico should consider alternatives. Rather than "An Illustrated History of New Mexico", I would suggest the title, "A History of Early New Mexico in Illustration."
