Great read on a Southwest vacation!

This book is "on loan" in each guest room of the Old Santa Fe Inn in Santa Fe, NM. My husband and I stayed there our first night of a Southwest road trip, and I so enjoyed the first few chapters of "Wind Leaves No Shadow" that I purchased a copy for myself. Great grounding in the early history of New Mexico from the perspective of a young woman who ultimately owns her own gambling salon in old Santa Fe. Spanning the area's rule under Spain, New Mexico, and ultimate statehood - plus gold fever, ongoing Indian conflict and tension with all parties plus Texans - I recommend the history and the adventure!
