The names of New Mexico's places - its towns, mountains, streams, lakes, and much more - are as interesting and as colorful as the state itself. From Pie Town to Truth or Consequences to Tucumcari to the misspelled names of Albuquerque and itself... there is a story, sometimes colorful, but a story none-the-less. Bob Juylan is an Albuquerque-based author and speaker who specializes in New Mexico history and geography. He is the author of The Place Names of NewMexico, which describes the meanings and origins of New Mexico's named places. In this lively and often humorous talk he shares stories about these names and be available to answer many questions. Bob is also the author of The Mountains of New Mexico, and his first novel, Sweeney, won the 2012 Tony Hillerman Awardsof the Arizona-New Mexico Book Association.
Their Speakers Bureau program offers living history, performances and talks that are imaginative and accessible public programs that lead to a greater understanding of our human experiences and heritage. For additional information visit www.nmhum.org |

Mil Gracias, A THOUSAND THANKS, does not begin to cover the many, many individuals to whom we owe a debt of gratitude. This debt is not only the living but also to those men and women who long ago began to preserve the journals and documents we now depend upon for knowledge of the past: the chroniclers who accompanied the explorers and settlers and who, dusty, tired and hungry, sat in the light of a candle to record in their journals the events of the day and the Franciscan clerics who made detailed reports of their canonical visits to the mission churches of Nuevo México. Corina A. Santistevan Taos County Historical Society please send a check for $40 (book+shipping) payable to Taos County Historical Society and mail to: Taos County Historical Society PO Box 2447 Taos, NM 87571 |
