organized Santa Fe's Native Market. Nestor draws on clippings, financial records, and photos from the collection of the Colonial New Mexico Historical Foundation, as well as interviews with
many people, in this study of the Native Market. Numerous b&w historical photos show craftsmen at work and catalog crafts including furniture, textiles, tinwork, and woodwork. This edition
contains a new, brief foreword by George Paloheimo, Leonora's son. Annotation 穢2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
