{"product_id":"9781609494858","title":"Forgotten Tales of New Mexico","description":"\u003cbr\u003eNew Mexico, a place defined by a history of grand conflicts, conquistadores, Pueblo warriors, and nuclear scientists, will celebrate its state centennial in 2012. 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.","brand":"History Press, The","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47055192588528,"sku":"9781609494858","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781609494858_p0.jpg?v=1763838364","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781609494858","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
