Streets of the American Southwest

**Streets of the American Southwest** is a comprehensive guide to the history, culture, and art of three iconic cities: Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and Taos.

From the Native American trails that crisscrossed the land to the Spanish colonial roads that connected settlements, from the Mexican cart paths that wound through villages to the American wagon trails that forged a path westward, each street tells a story of the people who have passed this way.

In this book, we will journey through the streets of these three cities, exploring their rich history, diverse cultures, and vibrant arts scenes. We will discover the stories behind the names of their streets, and we will meet the people who live and work along them.

Albuquerque, the largest city in New Mexico, is a modern metropolis with a rich history. Its streets reflect the city’s Spanish colonial heritage, its Mexican past, and its American present. We will stroll down Central Avenue, the city’s main thoroughfare, and visit the historic Old Town, where adobe buildings line the narrow streets. We will explore the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center, which celebrates the traditions of the Native American pueblos of New Mexico. And we will hike the trails of the Sandia Mountains, which offer stunning views of the city and the surrounding countryside.

Santa Fe, the state capital of New Mexico, is a city of art and culture. Its streets are lined with galleries, museums, and theaters. We will visit the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum, which houses the largest collection of the artist’s work in the world. We will explore the Museum of International Folk Art, which features a vast collection of folk art from around the globe. And we will stroll through the historic Santa Fe Plaza, where Native American vendors sell their handmade goods.

Taos, a small town in northern New Mexico, is a haven for artists and writers. Its streets are filled with art galleries, studios, and boutiques. We will visit the Harwood Museum of Art, which features a collection of works by Taos artists. We will explore the Millicent Rogers Museum, which houses a collection of Native American art and artifacts. And we will hike to the top of Taos Mountain, which offers panoramic views of the surrounding countryside.

**Streets of the American Southwest** is the perfect guide for anyone who wants to explore the rich history, diverse cultures, and vibrant arts scenes of these three iconic cities.
