Résumé:

This is the first extensive survey of Hispanic building and art on the late Colorado frontier. Because most of the villages where the author found his subjects are now either abandoned or being transformed by developers, the book is likely to stand as the only full visual record of what Spanish Americans along the southern border of the state once produced. Accompanying the eighty-five full page photographs is a text that briefly outlines the history of pioneer immigration from New Mexico, and describes the way adobe buildings were constructed and other artifacts made.
