Download or read book Early New Mexico License Plates written by Bill Johnston and published by S.N. Publishing Company. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New Mexico history scholar and license plate expert Bill Johnston has written the first and only detailed history of New Mexico motor vehicle license plates. His recently published book documents the period from 1910 through 1955, and covers every type of license plate issued in both the pre-state (1910-1912) and state (1912 and later) eras. Also included are descriptions and photographs of some additional types extending well beyond 1955, to as late as 2013. This meticulously researched and lavishly illustrated work is documented with more than 435 citations of original source material. In the process, the author has put to rest countless myths about New Mexico license plates. Every student of New Mexico license plates, for example, knows that the New Mexico Territorial Legislature passed a law in 1905 requiring the licensing of motor vehicles... Except that it never happened. The author shows that there was no such law, nor was there any Territorial law that made any reference whatsoever to motor vehicles. And those ubiquitous 1932 "Guest" license plates? There was no statutory requirement to either purchase or display them. They were sold for a dollar apiece by the motor vehicle department to tourists, strictly as souvenirs. That is, unless you were an out-of-state salesman, in which case you did have to buy one. These and hundreds of other intriguing facts and figures will bring the reader back time and again for many hours of fascinating reading. The book is in encyclopedia format, arranged alphabetically by license plate type, such that the user can quickly find any subject of interest. This is an unparalleled reference work which will remain the gold standard of New Mexico license plate history for decades to come. Hard cover, 50 chapters, 330 pages. Over 765 color photographs of license plates, plus numerous black & white period photos.

Download or read book Rio Arriba written by Robert J. Tórrez and published by Rio Grande Books. This book was released on 2010 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rio Arriba: A New Mexico County Rio arriba. In Spanish, the lower case rio arriba stands for the "upper river," that portion of northern New Mexico that straddles the Rio del Norte, the historic name of the Rio Grande. In the upper case, they stand for Rio Arriba County, a geopolitical entity that constitutes a small portion of the historic rio arriba. The words define a vast portion of New Mexico that extends from the historic villa of Santa Fe north into the San Luis Valley of today's southern Colorado. Former New Mexico State Historian Robert J. Torrez, Robert Trapp, long-time owner and publisher of Espanola's Rio Grande Sun, and eight additional authors have come together to examine the long and complex history of this rio arriba. Rio Arriba: A New Mexico County reviews the history of this fascinating and unique area. The authors provide us an overview of its primordial beginnings (that left us the fossilized remains of coelophysis, our official state fossil), introduce us to the Tewa peoples that established the county's first permanent settlements, as discuss the role the Navajo, Ute, and Jicarilla Apache played in the region's history. As the history unfolds, the reader learns about the Spanish conquistadores and later-arriving Americans, their often contentious relations with the Native American peoples, and how the communities they established and the institutions they brought with them helped shape the Rio Arriba County of today.
