Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The South Valley Oral History Project was sponsored by the New Mexico Endowment for the Humanities, and conducted by the University of New Mexico Oral History Program. It was an adjunct project of the National Endowment for the Humanities' National Conversations Project. The project was to include the South Valley area of metropolitan Albuquerque and southern Bernalillo County (including the areas known as Los Padillas, Pajarito, Armijo, Atrisco, and Five Points), and the region known as Magdalena-Alamo in Socorro County, just west of the city of Socorro. The material in this collection relates only to the South Valley. Interviews were conducted in the Winter of 1995 and Spring of 1996. The interviews were designed to explore issues of ethnicity and community. Discussions of community included cohesiveness, change over time, needs, image, and whether the South Valley should be its own county. The interviews begin with a short biographical sketch of the interviewee's family, and then move on to issues of community. The interviews end with concerns about the community and where the community is headed. The project culminated in a town meeting, which was poorly attended by community members.

Book North Valley Oral History

Download or read book North Valley Oral History written by and published by . This book was released on with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1982, Kathryn Sargeant and Mary Davis began an archaeological survey of Los Ranchos de Albuquerque, an incorporated village in the Albuquerque's North Valley. Part of the project involved speaking with local people and asking for permission to walk across and examine their properties for archaeological sites. It became apparent to Sargeant and Davis that the local people had a wealth of historical information in their memories that needed to be documented. Thus, in 1983, the North Valley Oral History Project was born with three main goals: to present a picture of life in the North Valley before its transition from a rural to a suburban community, to record oral histories for present and future populations of the North Valley, and to create a body of primary source material about the North Valley for scholarly research.

Download or read book Magnificent Failure written by John Martin Campbell and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2008-08-01 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stunning photographic testimony to the hard realities of western farming In words that are as clean and precise as his haunting, starkly beautiful photographs, John Martin Campbell vividly recreates the life and times of the western homestead era, the period from about 1885 when the prairie lands lying west of the longitude of the western Dakotas became available to pioneering farmers. More than 70 black-and-white duotone photographs, with detailed captions, record bleak landscapes and abandoned farms, outbuildings, farm implements, and hand tools—mute testimonies to the failed hopes of several million families who settled on these arid and semi-arid lands. Campbell explains how their failure resulted from a deadly combination of natural and economic causes. Historians of the western United States have largely ignored the homesteaders, despite the lessons their experiences teach about irrigation and dry farming on the northern plains and the impact of the Great Depression and Dust Bowl. There is little romance in farming, especially when compared with that attached to cowboys, Indians, and explorers. Still, the homesteaders were heroes in the opening of the West, and this book, with its moving text, historical introduction, and stunning photographs, tells their story.

Book A History of Mobility in New Mexico

Download or read book A History of Mobility in New Mexico written by Lindsay M. Montgomery and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-03-30 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A History of Mobility in New Mexico uses the often-enigmatic chipped stone assemblages of the Taos Plateau to chart patterns of historical mobility in northern New Mexico. Drawing on evidence of spatial patterning and geochemical analyses of stone tools across archaeological landscapes, the book examines the distinctive mobile modalities of different human communities, documenting evolving logics of mobility—residential, logistical, pastoral, and settler colonial. In particular, it focuses on the diversity of ways that Indigenous peoples have used and moved across the Plateau landscape from deep time into the present. The analysis of Indigenous movement patterns is grounded in critical Indigenous philosophy, which applies core principles within Indigenous thought to the archaeological record in order to challenge conventional understandings of occupation, use, and abandonment. Providing an Indigenizing approach to archaeological research and new evidence for the long-term use of specific landscape features, A History of Mobility in New Mexico presents an innovative approach to human-environment interaction for readers and scholars of North American history.
