Description
A biography of Betty Stewart (1925-1994), who gained national publicity in the 1980s as a homebuilder and an authentic Santa Fe character. Certain aspects of Santa Fe's history - its reputation as a refuge for eccentrics, its decades-long effort to define itself through its architecture and its overwhelming popularity in the 1980s - are also addressed.
