Review by Library Journal Review
La Farge, son of writer Oliver La Farge, here presents oral histories from a wide variety of Santa Fe residents Anglos, Hispanics, Indians, artists, politicians, historians, and others whom he has known his entire life. These Santa Feans tell us in their own words about what it was like in "the good old days," evoking with their fascinating stories their hometown's unique charm and culture and giving us a real taste of the city's community in the early 20th century. La Farge concludes that Santa Fe has been cosmeticized for the tourist trade and that its former small-town feeling and original lure has been lost. Recommended for collections with special geographical interest. [Most of the men and women interviewed in this book have since died. Ed.] Gwen Gregory, Colorado Coll.
