Wildly successful when it was first published in 1955, Patrick Dennis’ Auntie Mame sold over two million copies and stayed put on the New York Times bestseller list for 112 weeks. It was made into a play, a Broadway as well as a Hollywood musical, and a fabulous movie starring Rosalind Russell.

She is impossible to resist, and this hilarious story of an orphaned ten-year-old boy sent to live with his aunt is as

Santa Fe, New Mexico’s long and glorious history has enlightened, delighted and often frightened New Mexicans and visitors alike.

For example, few people know of the manual dexterity of Kit Carson, the underground excursion of Don Juan de Onate and the husbandry skills of Bishop Lamy, to say nothing of the real truth behind the taking of Santa Fe by the Army of the West. But
