The article describes about the life of the people and New Mexico. There are only 400,000 humans in all the 122,000 square miles of New Mexico. Yet they soon project themselves into the picture. Straight through the valleys, along the lower spurs of the mountains, the "American" has built his railroads. His schools, prisons, churches, stores, ranch houses, garages, though somewhat in the local adobe tradition, are, like his "state roads," conspicuous for a certain hardness and modernity. The dress and manners of the Mexican, unobtrusive like his house, have the same dash of Latin color.
