Industry Reviews

Excerpts from a news release by Tom Drake of the New Mexico State Historic Preservation Division of Cultural Affairs: "The historic marker, which will be unveiled during festivities on September 18, 2008, honors the three men who platted Cedarvale in 1908 and the hundreds of homesteaders who arrived by train and other means to farm pinto beans in central New Mexico. Descendants will gather at the centerpiece of the town, a once grand, now crumbling Romanesque-style schoolhouse for the historical dedication. Gail D'Arcy who owns the building says that the lives and the hardships of the homesteaders comprise phenomenal stories." This book attempts to allow the reader to share in these adventures.
