LA Tierra Amarilla: Its History, Architecture, and Cultural Landscape

By Chris Wilson

Book Overview

The fascinating architecture of La Tierra Amarilla -- the high mountain valley of the Chama River and its six villages -- is perhaps the most distinctive local variation of the Hispanic building tradition in New Mexico. This book brings it to life with insightful text, photographs, maps and suggested driving tours. History, folkways, economics, agriculture, natural resources and technology are brought together to create a vivid impression of how this remote corner of the country was settled.
