Entrada: The Legacy of Spain and Mexico in the United States

The prodigious cultural legacy of Spain and Mexico throughout the United States is chronicled and celebrated in this important book. Most popular histories have misrepresented or minimized more than three centuries of Spanish and Mexican contributions to American history. This lavishly illustrated volume not only sets the record straight but also directs readers to more than four dozen National Park Service sites from Maine to Alaska where this neglected aspect of our national heritage is preserved and interpreted.
