"I have attempted in this book to bring to bear upon New Mexican Spanish religious folk art of the last century - the santos - the kind of analysis by formal criticism, theology, sociology, and psychology which will enable these pictures and statues of saints to illuminate in their special fashion the life of the people for whom and by whom they were made." Thus Father Steele introduced the 1974 hardcover edition of this book. In this paperback edition, he has made certain revisions and provided a 1982 bibliographical update. --- from book's back cover

Along the Rio Grande: Cowboy Jack Thorp's New Mexico (New Deal and Folk Culture Series)

N. Howard ("Cowboy Jack") Thorp (1867-1940) is best known for his cowboy song collections and for his composition, 'Little Joe, the Wrangler,' but he also wrote many descriptions of cowboys and ranch life and collected stories, legends, songs, and customs of the Southwest. The accounts of cattle culture, lost mines, local characters, and outlaws in this collection are previously unpublished manuscripts submitted to the New Mexico Federal Writers' Project between 1936 and 1939.
