Milagro of the Spanish Bean Pot
This story, Milagro of the Spanish Bean Pot, gives us a peek into a time and place in history that is little-known, but significant in helping tell America's story. Based on historical fact, there is ample evidence of a Spanish colonial pottery tradition from about 1790 to 1890 in northern New Mexico and southern Colorado. Some archaeologists would argue that only Native Americans made clay pots.

José Dario Gallegos: Merchant of the Santa Fe Trail
"The story of José Dario Gallegos is intricately tied to the history of Colorado's first continuous settlement, San Luis de la Culebra. The book pays tribute to a man whose contributions have been ignored too long."
--Rick Manzanares, Director of Fort Garland Museum
