Opis

El Llano Estacado, a major new work of Western history, reveals the historical heart of one of the world's unique regions -- the enormous mesaland of the Southern High Plains in Texas and New Mexico. The 50,000 square miles of the Llano are chronicled over three centuries with an eye to the history and compelling mystery of this special land. El Llano Estacado is more than a good read; it is also a native son's meditation on the role of imagination and myth in how we perceive this unique environment. El Llano Estacado is a grand history and geography told in an imaginative, interdisciplinary style.
