Book Description
Excerpt from The Land of Poco Tiempo If New Mexico lacks the concentration of natural picturesqueness to be found elsewhere, it makes up in universality. There are almost no waterfalls, and not a river worthy Of the name. Canons are rare, and inferior to those of Colorado and the farther Southwest. The mountains are largely skyward miles of savage rock; and forests are far between. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
