King of the Road
Travelers today seek a deeper experience than what's offered by most travel guides and tour services. They want to feel like they're penetrating a culture or a place, thereby finding adventure and gaining new understanding of the world. That's what the book King of the Road accomplishes. It takes readers to Two Grey Hills to meet master weaver Clara Sherman, to the Gallup Flea Market to taste a mutton sandwich, and to Lake Roberts to hear the flutter of a hummingbird's heart. Lesley King cruises Raton's hidden historic district to find relics of railroad history and delves into villages on the edge of the San Pedro Wilderness in search of the ancient Gallina warriors. The travel essays arose from King's "King of the Road" column in New Mexico Magazine.
Driving by Memory
Road trips to Las Vegas are the occasion for this entertaining meditation on the quintessentially American experience of driving across the desert. William Fox, successively exiled from California, Nevada, and New Mexico, has spent more time than most of us driving to Las Vegas--and he has taken notes on three recent trips, his own way of bringing cohesion to the vast and mind-numbing aspects of the freeway. Approaching the most postmodern city on the planet from three directions, he examines the landscape and what we do to it while also trying to figure out who he is, what that means, and the nature of the transformations of land into landscape through art and architecture, landscape design, and advertising. Fox's history of the region, both natural and cultural, highlights the creep of the urban supergrid across the most extensively traveled desert in the world. This is a profoundly personal, even idiosyncratic book about the most public of subjects--living in the postmodern West at the end of the millennium and what the cities, the freeways, the open spaces, and the billboards tell us about ourselves.

Ghost Towns Alive
The first book of the twenty-first century on New Mexico's ghost towns, this illustrated survey is based on research, interviews, and the travels of author Linda Harris and photographer Pamela Porter. They have divided the state into eleven regions comprising seventy ghost towns, from the Santa Fe Trail and Colfax County in the north to the southern mountains and the boot heel at the other end of New Mexico.For this writing, Harris has redefined ghost town to refer not just to permanently abandoned places but also to those that have declined without necessarily dying. She sheds light on the ways some towns have survived and how some have reinvented themselves, like Madrid and Cerrillos, former mining towns turned artistic and bohemian enclaves. All the towns in this book are accessible. Many have their own web sites and most have benefited from the efforts of preservation-minded residents and museum curators. Roads have been improved, churches restored, and schools have been transformed into community centers, libraries, or residences. Ghost Towns Alive will certainly entice New Mexicans and out-of-state tourists alike to pack a lunch and hit the road. Don't forget to bring walking shoes and your camera!

Someone Else's Saint
Second Place Winner of the Pottersfield Prize for Creative Nonfiction The Whithorn Way is a 1600-year-old pilgrimage route from the city of Glasgow to the shrine of St. Ninian?a mysterious Celtic saint whose lonely cave still looks out over the waves toward England, Northern Ireland, and the Isle of Man. When the path was recently revived, pilgrimage scholar Dr. Matthew Anderson gathered the first group of Canadians to walk it. Three years later, Matthew and his wife Dr. Sara Parks moved to Antigonish, Nova Scotia, only to discover that they were once again following Ninian?the cathedral at St. Francis Xavier University somewhat unusually bears his name. Thus began a search for the origins of this half-legendary figure on both sides of the Atlantic, turning up little-known histories of Gaels, Picts, Acadians, and Mi'kmaq, and resulting in a new East Coast Canadian Walk that Anderson came to call the Nova Scotia Ninian Way. In alternating chapters, travel through the wild Scottish Lowlands and along the salty Northumberland shore. Meet the locals and the come-from-aways, hearing stories of shipwrecks and shortcuts. Find a place to dry your boots with a pint in hand and bright company in landscapes that have seen murder and oppression as well as hope and reconciliation. Visit teashops looking out over smugglers' islands and ceilidhs in Acadian halls, where old-timers speak of priests falling through ice, hunters disappearing down gypsum holes, and bishops mistaken for pirates. Slog through downpours and stinging nettle in the never-ending moors and walk past decaying mid-century theme parks and political bypasses. The "slow travel" of a pilgrimage on foot reveals two lands linked not only by Ninian, but also by common struggles. Someone Else's Saint is a thoughtful, funny, and perceptive travelogue for lovers of walking?or reading.
