The Architecture and Art of Early Hispanic Colorado: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "The Architecture and Art of Early Hispanic Colorado" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

First published in 1974, when it was awarded the Western Heritage Wrangler Award from the Cowboy Hall of Fame and Western Heritage Center, this remains the only extensive survey of Hispanic building and art on the late Colorado frontier. Because most of the villages where the author found his subjects are now either abandoned or transformed by developers, the book is likely to stand as the only full visual record of what Spanish Americans along the southern border of the state produced. Accompanying the eighty-five full page photographs is a text that briefly outlines the history of pioneer immigration from New Mexico, and describes the way adobe buildings were constructed and other artifacts made.
