Seller's Description:
Very Good. Size: 6x0x9; In Very Good+ condition. The Desert environment leaves its stark impress upon plants, animals, and men. And Ross Calvin tells the beautifully strange story of New Mexico--its ancient culture, the coming of the Spanish friars, the Spanish occupation, pueblo life, the Apaches and their long warfare with the whites, cattle and sheep raising and cowboys and outlaws, and the old trails, and the coming of the railroads--treating all these in the light of the physical features and physical conditions of the country. Calvin knew New Mexico intimately, and he writes of his observations and experiences in his rides and tramps through the region. His novel point of view and material afford a unique approach to the arid American Southwest. The journalist Ernie Pyle, who lived in Albuquerque with his wife for a period in 1942, stated that Calvin's book was ''our Southwestern Bible, '' and the famed Western librarian and critic Lawrence Clark Powell gave his imprimatur when he called it the ''finest single book about New Mexico. ''

Seller's Description:
Peter Hurd (Illustrator) Very Good in None as Issued jacket. Text/BRAND NEW & Bright. Illustrated soft cover/VG; strong & sound w/faint creasing to upper front corner & trace fading to spine, and price sticker to rear. Reprint of the Revised & Enlarged Edition of 1965 from the 1934 & 1948 Editions. Epsicopal clergyman Ross Calvin (1889-1970) went to New Mexico in 1927; a six-month visit for health reasons extended to 43 years! As he considered man's history in the arid Southwest and the adaptability of desert plant and wild life particularly during drought, "the influence of the Sky Powers" became increasingly apparent. Calvin saw clearly, "...that which man determines here has never at any time very completely repealed that which Sky Determines". This perspective gave rise to the title of this classic work which demonstrates the powerful role of climatic matters in the development of both natural and cultural patterns of New Mexico.
