Description:
Using the San Cristobal Ranch in the heart of the archaeologically famous Galisteo Basin as its focal point, San Cristobal: Voices and Visions of the Galisteo Basin examines six centuries of human history: the first hunters and gatherers roaming through the region; the Southern Tewa people, who built several pueblos; the Hispanic settlers; and finally the Anglo communities and ranches that occupy the land today.

Through anthropological and historical study, keen personal observation, and striking photographs, Mednick weaves an engaging tale of environmental beauty and human history. It is a tale that reaches beyond the boundaries of the ranch into the history of New Mexico itself and the enduring cultures and traditions of today.
This initiates a trade-book line from the Office of Archaeological Studies, a research unit of the Museum of New Mexico, bringing scholarly topics to a wider general audience.
