By the time Alamogordo�s founders platted the town in the late 1800s; bestowing it with the Spanish name for Fat Cottonwood; the region�s lush grasses were luring cowboys such as Oliver Lee. Then; in 1941; an event more than 3;000 miles away changed the quiet community. When the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor; chamber president Mose Cauthen quickly spearheaded bringing the Army�s mission to train bomber pilots to the Tularosa Basin. During the Space Race; Dr. John Stapp oversaw the programs at Holloman Air Force Base that sent Joe Kittinger; Dave Simons; and �Demi� McClure floating heavenward underneath balloons. Soon after; Ed Dittmer was training chimpanzees to rocket out of Earth�s atmosphere and prove man could survive in that hostile environment. Alamogordo is where the Old West melds with ever-evolving technology; along with a rich artistic and literary legacy championed by such women as Linnie Townsend; Maude Rathgeber; and Margaret Flickinger.

BUY IT!!!!!!By Jesse GriegoI bought this book as a gift for my girlfriend who absolutely loves TKG. We follow him on Instagram. Twitter and Facebook and when I saw that he was releasing a book I was ecstatic. I feel like its very hard to speak your mind sometimes especially when it comes to things like love! Tyler perfectly expresses all of the feelings that a person could wish to convey. not only that but he provides amazing photography to go along with his Typewriter series. Overall this book is a joy to have and to read and it is one book that we will keep forever on a list of all time favorites.
