The author provides a new perspective to the history of New Mexico in that names and dates are not important. He states that relative time and cause and effect are the important keys to making sense of history. He asserts that history is the story of human beings, who feel sadness, happiness and pain. This book is divided into five sections: The period before Europeans arrived; the Spanish Colonial Period; Mexican Independence; the Terrirtorial Period; and finally the statehood period which began in 1912 and continues today.

The last work produced by the late Jack Jackson, an eminent historian as well as an illustrator. Jackson, who died in June 2006, nurtured his interest in Texas history as a schoolboy when he read the classic Texas History Movies comic strips. He disliked their cultural biases and racial stereotyping but understood their popular appeal and the narrative power of the comic strip. Jackson, who is considered the father of Underground Comics, long wanted to recreate the comic strip as he envisioned it, fair and balanced, but in the realistic manner that depicted the times. Includes a history of Texas History Movies. This is a great final testament to Jackson's talent. He will be dearly missed. Austin, 2007 Texas State Historical Association 1st Ed., 48 Pgs., PB.

HISTORICAL NOVEL. Life in the 1920s was difficult for many U.S. citizens of Tejano ancestry, reduced to being as one historical figure mentioned "foreigners in their native land." It had been over eight years since the 1836 Battle fo the Alamo but the descendants of the first settlers of Texas were treated as the enemy akin to a never-ending nightmare. The author has captured the times in this very interesting and readable suspense novel. Phildelphia, PA 2008 On Demand printed Ed., 6 x 9, 244 Pgs.,PB.
