Celebrating the colorful legacy of both New Mexico’s first 100 years of statehood, this book is a stunning celebration of this Southwestern state’s scenic wonders. Remarkable color photographs feature the timeless vistas, majestic landmarks, and cultural icons the Land of Enchantment is known for worldwide—as well as never-before-seen portraits of the state’s luminous landscapes and hidden gems. John Annerino casts an artist’s, adventurer’s, and scholar’s perspective on renowned international destinations he knows intimately. He weaves each New Mexico’s natural history, legends, and storied human history into evocative introductory essays. Evocative quotes from early travelers, writers, and photographers, whose own journeys defined their character as much as their prose, poetry, and images later defined our modern perceptions of New Mexico’s extraordinary Western landscape also shape this tribute to a magnificent place in the American landscape.
