Established on April 5; 1851; Colorado�s oldest town; San Luis de la Culebra; remains remarkably true to its heritage. Nestled below the Sangre de Cristo Land Grant in the San Luis Valley; San Luis and its descendants sustain a way of life and preserve a culture in this high; isolated desert region. Eighteen men migrated north from New Mexico into the northernmost area of Spanish exploration in the mid-1800s to settle San Luis along the Culebra River. These pioneering families brought their use of communal land and water and a language dating back to 16th-century Castilian Spain. They carried on a deep faith from the Old World into the New. The traditions of San Luis and the surrounding villages�Chama; San Pablo; San Pedro; San Francisco; and San Acacio�continue today among the young and old who remain the keepers of culture.

3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Kaiser MemoriesBy G. E. ShepherdI grew up in the 1950 and 60s within 10 miles of Kaiser Steel. My father worked 21 years at the mill and retired from there in 1981. John Anicics book brought back a flood of memories for me as well as good information. I am a railroad hobbist and I am slowly modeling an N-Scale Steel Mill. After acquiring Mr. Anicics book I have almost enough photographs and other information to base my small railroad upon The Kaiser plant. Great book for those interested in California industrial history; WWII preparedness; steel production; on and on.I would recommend it to everyone that may have the slightest interest.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
