El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro

"The 1993 compilation of historical essays on El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro, published as our Cultural Resources Series No. 11, proved to be extremely popular. It has now sold out of its second printing and a third is contemplated ... Because the publication [was] such a resounding success, Dr. Gabrielle Palmer offered to compile a second collection of papers from current researchers. This volume is largely the result of her efforts. A few additional articles were added [to] provide a more complete picture of current issues surrounding trail management ... The intent of assembling these papers is to present a popular history of the trail in terms that the general reader and visitor to New Mexico can appreciate."--From foreword.
