This text focuses on the circumstances surrounding the Maxwell Land Grant in New Mexico and southern Colorado. The grant involved more than two thousand square miles of land. This work reviews the history of the land in question from the days of Mexican rule under Governor Armijo, to the time of Vigilantes in Raton. It also speaks of the ownership controversy, wherein the Utes, Apaches, Spanish and Americans all thought that they were the true land owners.

Although most people prefer not to think about them, hazardous wastes, munitions testing, radioactive emissions, and a variety of other issues affect the quality of land, water, and air in the Land of Enchantment, as they do all over the world. In this book, veteran New Mexico journalist V. B. Price assembles a vast amount of information on more than fifty years of deterioration of the state's environment, most of it hitherto available only in scattered newspaper articles and government reports. Viewing New Mexico as a microcosm of global ecological degradation, Price's is the first book to give the general public a realistic perspective on the problems surrounding New Mexico's environmental health and resources.
