New Mexico has an austere and planetary look that daunts and challenges the soul. In the East and the Middle West, the honors are nowadays relatively even between man and nature. In much of the West and the South-west they are not and in New Mexico the game is still so heavily loaded on nature's side that the life of the citizen is profoundly affected. Although the fourth of U.S. states in area-three-fifths the size of France, with single counties as big as Wales or Scotland-New Mexico has a population smaller than that of many a U.S. city. Evenly distributed, there would be about three persons to the square mile.
