Philmont : A Brief History of the New Mexico Scout Ranch

Rating:
Summary: a must have coffetable book
Review: If you are connected with Philmont, if you love western history, or if you are interested in Northeasten New Mexico, then this is a must-own book. It is in a coffetable type of format, so it makes a great book to set around and peruse whenever you have a few minutes to relax. As the title indicates, it is a brief history, so the text doesn't get nearly as detailed as Larry Murphy's book "Philmont: A History of New Mexico's Cimarron Country." Instead Zimmer and Walker's book is loaded with great photographs. If you are looking for a good historical review of Northeastern New Mexico, but don't want to get bored with details, I highly recommend this book.
