Wicked Taos

Charleston: The History Press, 2014. Paperback. 127p. paperback, 6x9 inches, very good. Illustrated profusely with b&w photographs and neat reproductions of archival documents. From the back cover, "The people of Taos have always displayed a feisty-if not downright insurgent-spirit. Every uprising that toppled a New Mexican government started here, beginning with the Pueblo revolt against the Spanish colonists and including the assassinations of a Mexican-era tax governor, who lost his head, and the first American governor, who lost his scalp before his life.
