The Latino Big Bang in California: The Diary of Justo Veytia, a Mexican Forty-Niner (Querencias Series)
Par David E. Hayes-Bautista, Cynthia L. Chamberlin, Paul Bryan Gray. 2023
The Latino Big Bang in California presents a Spanish transcription and English translation of a diary written by Forty-Niner Justo…
Veytia, a Mexican immigrant seeking riches during California&’s Gold Rush. Veytia&’s diary offers insights into the dilemmas and choices of an adventurous and ambitious young mexicano and provides a detailed glimpse into the life of Latinos who participated in this tumultuous moment in California history. In doing so, Veytia&’s diary demonstrates that the US-Mexico War together with the Gold Rush constituted a Latino &“big bang&” in California that attracted large swaths of fortune seekers from across the Spanish-speaking world throughout the latter half of the nineteenth century. Combining archival research with quantitative methods to extrapolate demographic information about the persistent presence of Latino communities in California from the mid-nineteenth century to today, The Latino Big Bang in California shows how Latino migration and labor forever changed the course of California history.

The Jemez Mountains: A Cultural and Natural History
Par Thomas W. Swetnam. 2025
The Jemez Mountains are a quintessential New Mexico landscape. For centuries, Pueblo, Spanish, and Anglo cultures have mixed and melded…
here. Many ancient villages are scattered across the mesas and in the canyons below the Valles Caldera, the crater of a giant, slumbering volcano. The rocks and trees of this landscape tell tales of eruptions, lava flows, droughts, floods, forest fires, and hot springs damming a river. Stories abound of battles for land and water between conquistadores, pueblos, and priests, and of farming and sheep herding disrupted by raiders and rustlers. In the modern era, forest rangers, scientists, and hippies have played an important role in shaping the area. In forty brief chapters, this book recounts some of these fascinating stories, accompanied by more than a hundred photographs, maps, and drawings. Matched photographs of the same views taken up to 150 years apart attest to striking change and apparent stasis. Major alterations have occurred in some places over the past two centuries due to human activity, and increasing climate change threatens further transformation. For those new to the Jemez Mountains, these stories and images will provide an introduction to the cultural and natural history of the area. Residents and long-time aficionados of the Jemez will find both familiar and surprising stories and will gain a renewed sense of this magnificent place.

World-Class Grooming for Horses
Par Emma Ford, Cat Hill. 2015
When owning, training, riding, and showing horses, there is a certain look to which one aspires. Often it is set…
by the horses seen on television, at special events, in public performances, and in top competition around the globe. World-class turnout— a horse in peak condition, perfectly coiffed and luminous with good health, outfitted with gleaming and well-fit tack appropriate for his sport—literally takes your breath away. And while it can certainly play a significant role in a competitive rider's success, it is just as appealing to have any horse groomed to the nines, whether he's headed for an afternoon lesson or just out on the trail.But achieving this superior look is not just about clean tack, shiny brass, spotless stockings, or the perfect braids. The most important steps are found in the day-to-day, nitty-gritty of grooming and caring for the horse; noticing something not-quite-right about the way the horse looks or moves before it becomes something wrong; brushing and combing and trimming a little every day so the horse's skin and coat remain healthy and he always has a neat appearance. It is knowing how to prepare a horse properly for training sessions on the flat or over fences, and cool him down appropriately afterward. It's protecting his body from injury, whether at work or play, and treating it when necessary.No one knows how to do all of this better than those working as professional grooms in the barns of the world's top riders and trainers. It is the responsibility of these elite experts to keep their four-legged charges happy, healthy, and primed for peak performance—in body and mind. Now, two of the best professional grooms in the business share their trade secrets, with over 1200 color photographs demonstrating how to clean the horse from nose to tail; wrap, clip, braid, and ship him; prepare him for or present him in various English competitive scenarios; and care for him after work or showing so he is rested and ready to do it all again. This book is everything you need to know from the pros: The ultimate modern-day guide for all riders who want their horses to look and feel their best.

tale played out in ramshackle huts and stylish establishments alike in some of the most unforgiving terrain imaginable. While the legendary Crystal Palace in Tombstone, Arizona, had little in common with the tent cities that sprang up in Leadville, Colorado, and Silver City, New Mexico, one common feature was the bars—constructed of planks of mahogany, cherrywood, or rosewood. These bars were often hauled across hundreds of miles of rugged terrain to arrive in various cities, where they would support the elbows, chins, and drinks of those who sought to quench their thirst.From the Grand Hotel in Bisbee to Rosa&’s Cantina in El Paso, Myke and Melody Groves tell the story of the front and back bars of twenty-five establishments in Arizona, Texas, New Mexico, and Colorado through a combination of historic background and photographs. This lively travelogue, complete with driving directions, will inspire visitors to the West&’s old mining camps, railroad towns, and ranching centers to stop in and belly up to the bar.
