Description
"In this first history of the French in New Mexico, the author chronicles the history of French-speaking people who came mainly from France, Canada, Switzerland, Belgium, Africa, and the Caribbean Islands; of people with French ancestry who retained some of their French culture; and of people with strong connections to France. The book traces their presence in New Mexico from the 1500s to present times. . . . They came from all walks of life, explorers, adventurers, fur trappers, and traders, soldiers, merchants, priests, farmers and ranchers, businesspeople, scientists, artists, actors, politicians, lawyers, criminals, women of note, intellectuals, and other influencers in society. . . . These stories are placed in their historical and cultural context, and point to more detailed readings and further research." -- back cover.
