Who does this land belong to? How have cultures gained access to this land? Who gets to decide who is right? These are the questions that inspired Nash to write this book. Although in recent decades, there have been significant studies and reports on the history of San Luis Valley and, more generally, the southwestern United States, this intriguing story is largely unknown to many residents. More importantly, most of the history commonly known is told by those that won the valley from several previous inhabitants and cultures. This work gives a prominent place to the stories as told by indigenous people and Spanish-speaking people before the arrival of northern European descendants. Nash draws from a wide variety of sources to bring a condensed version of this broader story.

In southern Colorado,rural life-ways, traditions and culture languish between what life was like in the past and the progress of today's faster pace. During 6 months in 2005, the author photographed the daily community life and cultural traditions of San Luis residents. As a snapshot in time, her photos convey visual stories of individuals and activities that shape the unique character of these communities. Her camera lens captured stunning landscapes, adobe churches, cemetery grave markers bearing the names of past residents and visually preserved the local architecture. Her photos stand as a record for a moment in time during 2005 in the San Luis Valley.
