The Southwest: Its History and People (Avenues)

Inez guides readers through The Southwest: Its History and People and introduces the region by pointing out its diverse cultural heritage, its mineral wealth, and its continued rapid growth. The book explores the cultural contributions to the region by Native American, Spanish, and American people through descriptions of a Hopi village in the 1700s, Spanish settlements later in the century, and Stephen Austin’s settlement of Texas in the 1820s. Readers gain an appreciation of the countryside and resources of the region as they travel the Santa Fe and Chisholm trails. Then they witness the exciting boom days of the late 1800s and early 1900s that come with the discovery of oil and silver and the scramble for land in Oklahoma. Inez concludes her tour with a few details about the region today.
