Written by the renowned journalist and ethnologist Charles F. Lummis, the work explores the unique cultural landscape of New Mexico, a region the author characterizes as the "land of pretty soon." Through a blend of travelogue, history, and anthropological study, Lummis captures the spirit of a frontier in transition.The book provides detailed accounts of the diverse peoples inhabiting the region, including the Pueblo Indians, the Apache, and the Hispano communities. Lummis delves into fascinating subjects such as the rituals of the Penitentes, the traditional folk songs of the Mexican-American population, and the ancient ruins that dot the desert landscape. His prose is enriched by his deep personal connection to the land and its inhabitants, offering readers an authentic glimpse into the folklore and traditions of the Southwest.
