The Heart of Las Cruces
Author: Ricardo Bauzá
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780692243336
Category : Las Cruces (N.M.)
Languages : en
Pages : 176
Book Description
In ten essays, ranging from the chronological to the sacred, and with stories from national and regional import to familial and personal recollections, this work examines the historical evolution of this faith community, which has played a crucial role in the spiritual development of Las Cruces, New Mexico, and continued to do so today. For over a century St. Genevieve Catholic Church served as the actual physical heart of Las Cruces, most recognizable feature that marked the community's downtown. But over the same time period, St. Genevieve became much more than just a geographic identifier; it became the spiritual focus for generations of the faithful. This book details the complex and intriguing story of the establishment, growth, and expansion of the church. The loss of the "old" church building during the physical and social transformations of the parish during the 1960s, although traumatic to many, led to a recommitment to the sacrifice and service centered on the "new" church building.

The Complete History of New Mexico
Author: Kevin McIlvoy
Publisher: Graywolf Press
ISBN: 1555970478
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 177
Book Description
"Compelling and complex . . . Strange and wonderful." —The New York Times Book Review, in praise of McIlvoy's previous fiction I am going to write about the state of New Mexico and put in some maps and stuff from the encyclopedia. My theme is the Don Juan Onate trail and the Jornada Del Muerto. But I might write some other important things which as it turns out my stepmother got angry about and said she wouldn't type this until my Dad said "Dammit now it is history" and told her maybe there weren't commas in those days. "The Complete History of New Mexico" is no ordinary research paper, and this is no ordinary collection of short stories. Eleven-year-old Chum's "history" unfolds over three distinctive and increasingly disturbing sections. He writes that "Coronado explored around and found Santa Fe in 1610"; that "William Becknell was tracking wagons over everyplace in 1821"; and that every day his best friend, Daniel, is afraid to go home. Kevin McIlvoy intersperses the title novella with equally distinctive stories set in New Mexico. Laura, a plain, overweight nurse, encounters a terrified young man on his way to the Vietnam War and takes matters into her own hands. Zach spends time with his "white-trash" relatives and finds love's terrible and true face. The Complete History of New Mexico is a stunningly original collection that will further McIlvoy's growing reputation.

Legendary Locals of Las Cruces
Author: Charlotte Tallman
Publisher: Arcadia Publishing
ISBN: 1439645868
Category : Travel
Languages : en
Pages : 128
Book Description
When Las Cruces was founded 164 years ago near a group of crosses marking the graves of travelers and soldiers, a rawhide rope separated acreage for a church, a cemetery, and family lots. That rawhide rope brought to Las Cruces a new era filled with the exhilaration of the Wild West and the people who molded the City of the Crosses. Over the decades, the number of local men, women, and children who deserve recognition as heroes of history or champions of the present is infinite, including Dr. Nathan E. Boyd, entrepreneurial creator of the Boyd Sanitarium; Gov. Susana Martinez, the first female governor of New Mexico and the first female Hispanic governor in the United States; and Letticia Martinez, a legally blind swimmer who competed with the 2012 London Paralympics Swimming Team. Like thousands of others, theirs is a story of persistent hope, courage, and desire to make a difference.
