About this audiobook
The ancestral home of the Pueblo. A remnant of Spain’s New World empire. The location of the first atomic bomb detonation. A supposed alien crash site. New Mexico. The Land of Enchantment.
New Mexico is a state with a rich and diverse history, dating back thousands of years. The land was originally inhabited by Native American tribes, including the Pueblo, Apache, and Navajo, which developed unique cultures, traditions, and ways of life.
Discover how the region changed when the Spanish conquistadors arrived and established colonies, bringing with them Christianity and the Spanish language. And explore the territory’s tumultuous history as it changed hands from Spain to Mexico and then from Mexico to the United States.
As the years passed, New Mexico experienced rapid growth, particularly in the areas of mining, agriculture, and tourism. During World War II, New Mexico played a critical role in the development of the top-secret Manhattan Project.
We leave no stone uncovered. So, join us in discovering a state known for its beautiful landscapes, complex cultural heritage, and diverse population.
