Reseña del libro "Santa Rosa, the Early Days (en Inglés)"

Santa Rosa, the Early Days is the fifth book in a series about Santa Rosa, the railroad community located in Guadalupe county, written by the author. Present day Santa Rosa owes its existence to the coming of the Rock Island & Chicago railroad into the area in 1901. The new town of Santa Rosa came into existence with the construction of the new railroad north of old Santa Rosa, the community founded by Don Celso Baca in the last quarter of the 1800s. Santa Rosa consists of a series of short vignettes taken from early newspapers articles, mostly from old New Mexico newspapers, though there are also vignettes based on articles from out of state newspapers. Most of the vignettes cover the time frame from 1900 to 1920, though there are several that extend into the 1930s. The newspaper articles are valuable in providing a window into the rich and colorful past of today's Santa Rosa. Santa Rosa also has one lengthier section consisting of general information columns derived from the old newspapers. The columns contain information about the people who called Santa Rosa home and their everyday life, including their work, religious and social activities. There are also many period photographs that help illustrate many of the vignettes. The photographs provide excellent documentation of the Santa Rosa that existed during that period. They also show that one picture is indeed worth a thousand words.
