For general readers, Janin, a nonfiction writer, and Carlson (English, Western Nevada College) chart the major historic trails of New Mexico that were used by Indians, prospectors, soldiers, buffalo hunters, immigrants, and cattle and sheep drovers through 1886. They discuss prehistoric Indian trails and trade; the history of Spanish exploration and settlement in the area, including key figures; and the history of individual routes such as El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro, the Old Spanish Trail, the Santa Fe Trail, the Butterfield Overland Mail Route, and other trails of the southwest, including the role of trails in the Mexican-American War. The last chapter looks at the trails, trade, and travels as they are preserved today. Maps are provided. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
