Page vi ACKNOWLEDGMENTS As a resident of Albuquerque, my relation to Santa Fe is suspect from opposite points of view. For some National Endowment for the Humanities fellowship reviewers, research on the region in which one lives automatically raises the suspicion that one is a provincial partisan. Conversely, for certain cultivated Santa Feans, I have the impression, that residence in my sprawling, vulgar Sunbelt metropolis sixty-five miles to the southwest raises serious doubts about one's sensibilities and ability to say anything useful about their beloved city. While my affections for Santa Fe, its people and rich community life are deep, the perspective from Albuquerque has allowed me to cast a critical (and I hope constructive) eye on some of the city's traditions and pretensions. I do know that my work has benefitted equally from the support and encouragement of people from those opposite directionsfrom scholars scattered across the country, as well as from residents of the city. My heartfelt thanks go to these diverse individuals who helped me along the way.
