Summary
"New Mexico's history is the story of families and communities resisting, adjusting, and relying on one another. As a family home and center of government, the Palace of the Governors lies at the heart of New Mexico's unique heritage, a historical stage for a colorful cast of characters. One of America's oldest public buildings of European origin, the Palace of the Governors in Santa Fe has been in constant use for four hundred years since construction began in 1609." "In photographs, maps, lithographs, and drawings, the broad history that the Palace played host to unfolds, from the Pueblo Revolt of 1680 to the opening of the Santa Fe Trail, the Mexican and Civil wars, the coming of the railroad and the founding of today's Museum of New Mexico at the heart of a burgeoning art colony. The Palace of the Governors remains a grand building representing New Mexico's collective history."--BOOK JACKET.
