This book is an engaging narrative history of New Mexico's 19th and 20th century identities. Today officially known as the Land of Enchantment, it has also been the Land without Law, the Land of Heart's Desire, the Land of the Well Country, the Land of Pueblos, and the Land of Sunshine. Since statehood in 1912 it has been dubbed the Colorful State, the Volcano State, the Science State, the Space State, and the Atomic State. Weigle explores all these and more between the opening of the Santa Fe Trail in 1821 and the Diamond Jubilee of Route 66 in 2001.

Marta Weigle is University Regents Professor of Anthropology at the University of New Mexico, as well as the author and editor of numerous publications including Spanish New Mexico: Spanish Colonial Arts Society Collection (Museum of New Mexico Press).
