Lightly bumped boards in a jacket with some chipping and edge wear. Endpapers illustrated with map of the Southwest. A book whose genesis is in the author's Pulitzer Prize winning Great River, this volume examines the three peoples and their distinct cultures along the Rio Grande River as it flows from the Rockies to the Gulf of Mexico. The three cultures Horgan writes of are the Indians, the Latins, and the Anglo-Americans. Horgan takes the reader down through the centuries as these cultures clash and finally find acceptance among one another along the river.
