What better time for a collection of forgotten tales that recounts the adventures and exploits of priests, soldiers, witches, and politicians, who carved out a living in the harsh frontier. Ellen will introduce the reader to a cross-dressing Buffalo Soldier, a French trailblazer who opened a road from Santa Fe to Texas, an American spy who became a Mexican general, a Mexican raised by the Navajo who helped round up the Din for removal, and a governor whose head was removed and used as a football. Spanning from the 17th century to World War II, these stories are drawn from Native oral histories as well as the state's written records, and provide a sampling of New Mexico's colorful past.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"History Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47780764188823,"sku":"9781609494858","price":1058.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781609494858.webp?v=1778048040","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/forgotten-tales-of-new-mexico-9781609494858","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
