Between 1850 and 1912, the year New Mexico was granted statehood, the Territory of New Mexico was a wild and dangerous place. Homesteaders, cowboys, ranchers, sheepherders, buffalo hunters, prospectors, treasure hunters and railroad men pushing the borders of the western frontier met with resistance from man and animal alike. Native Americans, who had lived on the land defending their boundaries and way of life for centuries, reacted to the wave of outsiders in various ways. The agrarian Pueblo peoples along the Rio Grande largely kept to themselves. Apache, Navajo and Ute tribes sometimes attempted to co-exist with the newcomers but most often they fought against encroachment. Anglo and Mexican outlaws ran roughshod across the frontier and there was no shortage of bears, wolves, mountain lions, blizzards and bad water to unsettle the newcomers. This collection of frontier stories vividly illustrates the range of struggles, triumphs and catastrophes faced by settlers who hoped to tame the land and inhabitants of Territorial New Mexico. Between 1936 and 1940, field workers in the Federal Writers' Project (a branch of the government-funded Works Progress Administration, or WPA, later called Work Projects Administration) recorded authentic accounts of life in the early days of New Mexico. These original documents, published here as a story collection for the first time, reflect the conditions of the New Mexico Territory as played out in dynamic clashes between individuals and groups competing for control of the land and resources. "Frontier Stories," the second in the New Mexico Federal Writers' Project Book Series, features informative background and historic photographs. Forthcoming books in the series include collections on mining and buried treasure, Hispano folk life, and cattle trails and ranching. Ann Lacy, co-editor of the New Mexico Federal Writers' Project Book series, has lived in New Mexico since 1979. She has been an Artist-in-Residence in the New Mexico Artists-in-the-Schools Program and a studio artist exhibiting her work in museums and galleries. She has worked as a researcher and writer for Project Crossroads, specializing in New Mexico history and culture, since 1987. She received a City of Santa Fe 2000 Heritage Preservation Award. Anne Valley-Fox, co-editor of the New Mexico Federal Writers' Project Book series, is a poet and writer who has worked for two decades as a writer/researcher for Project Crossroads. Her publications include "Your Mythic Journey: Finding Meaning in Your Life through Writing and Storytelling," "Sending the Body Out," "Fish Drum 15" and "Point of No Return." "How Shadows Are Bundled" is her latest collection of poems.Binding Type: Paperback

Perfect for travel!
Size: Small Size
Love these and perfect for my bar soap. European hotels love their body wash refillable bottles but I like my soap! This keeps my bar soap clean and prevents me from dropping on the hotel shower floor. Also makes it nice for packing as it takes up less room than a soap dish. Last a long time! Use this all the time on monthly trips and is just like new. Good buy!

Great soap saver
Size: Small Size
The string came off the first day I used it. But other than that it’s great. Has a nice exfoliation to it. Not not very soft at all. But this will help your soap last you a little longer

New find for me and I love it
Size: Small Size
I guess I never realized what a soap bag was before. I put a small brick of soap in it and it is WONDERFUL for shaving my legs!! It suds up just enough so you can shave, but keeps the soap from getting messy.

Good soap bags
Size: Small Size
Great soap bar bag. Later is good, fit is big but that's fine way better than being too tight or small. Great value.

Fantastic soap exoplanet bags
Size: Medium Size, Size: Medium Size
Very high quality bag. I was really surprised when it arrived and I saw how well it was made. I was expecting something cheap for the price. But the quality and durability of this soap bag far surpassed the price of the item. This will last for years. The material and stitching are top of the line. I can recommend this product for anyone.
