Product Description
The party in the cemetery. The amputation of the bronze foot. The reincarnation of Billy the Kid. The only book ever to make The New York Times best-seller list in both fiction AND non-fiction. The female gentlemen. The cave that waited 40 years. The murderous 'squaw man.' Where will you find these strange stories, and more? Only in The Other State: New Mexico, USA. Anyone who lives in or travels to New Mexico understands that it is a place unlike anywhere else. Extremely unlike anywhere else. These true tales, brief and fast-moving, paint a unique portrait of a unique land. They are told by a multiple-award-winning writer, who found his home in New Mexico decades ago and has been telling its story ever since. If you too feel New Mexico's spell, then welcome to . . . The Other State.

Mr. McCord has captured the special essence of New Mexico, which is nominally part of the USA, but really almost a separate country and culture all to itself. One could put the case that N.M. is really 2 countries:
1. N.M. in the summers and 2. N.M. in the winters. Both of these countries have a special charm like no other place and deserve a visit with care toward preserving such a vital resource. Buy the book!

A nice escape and a way to travel to New Mexico without actually going... good for anyone who likes to read for both intelectual stimulation and therapy... the details of wheather, history, flora and fauna bring the reader there... Perhaps good in the travel section also...
A good journey book to a new land for those in the east or northwest or other countries...The Spell of New Mexico
