Lamy of Santa Fe

Paul Horgan (1904-1995) was a novelist, historian and biographer - and one of the 20th century's most gifted authors. He twice won the Pulitzer Prize for History in a literary career spanning seven decades, and taught at Yale University, University of Iowa and Wesleyan University. His many other books include The Great River: The Rio Grande in North American History (Wesleyan, 1991).

"Lamy of Santa Fe is a classic work. Not only is the research exemplary but so is the narrative artistry, the work of history as art." - Robert Gish, author of Nueva Granada: Paul Horgan and the Modern Southwest; "Lamy of Santa Fe stands as a beacon in American biography." - James Day, author of Paul Horgan; "Historians, and general readers as well, seeking vivid portrayal of the Southwest's political, social and cultural traditions will find [this book] rewarding.... the historical and literary heritage of Americans in general will be the richer for Mr. Horgan's painstaking effort." - Southwestern Historical Quarterly
