"Susan E. Wallace was the wife of Lew Wallace, Governor of New Mexico Territory from 1878-1881. When they moved to the southwest she began sending articles to magazines and literary publications. she shares her observations about the land, the customs and the mix of inhabitants that she finds. Her journey West starts first by rail and then by buckboard. She details her first encounter with Native Americans and her first visit to an Indian ceremony. Wallace writes about forcing open a heavy wooden door into a locked and forgotten room in the Palace of the Governors in Santa Fe. What she uncovered was a pile of jumbled papers, some of them dating back to the 1600s. The Land of Pueblos documents the past by a person who was truly in the land where she lived." -- published description.
