Women Marked for History, New Mexico Roadside Markers Honor Women Leaders
by Phil T. Archuletta and Rosanne Roberts Archuletta
You see them on almost every road trip. Highway signs and mile markers named after people who apparently did something to earn these distinctions. Most of the time you drive by so quickly that little more than the names register. But if you've been through New Mexico, you may also have noticed that many of the historical markers honor women. Women Marked for History fills in the details on the stories behind the names. There are rich and poor, military and civilian, mothers, wives and daughters, but all in some way contributed to the betterment of their communities and their state. Take this book along on your next road trip to Santa Fe.

Traveling New Mexico
A Guide to Historical and State Park Markers

Traveling New Mexico covers both the highway historical markers and state park markers, more than 500 in number, and is easier to use than the other book [from another publisher] focusing on the 350 highway historic markers. The savvy traveler will probably want to have both guides. But if you're trying to save money, go with Traveling New Mexico, which has everything the other does, with a bonus of 150 state park markers."
