Rubén Sálaz M. has broadened the study of southwest History to include multicultural aspects as well as important discussion items often neglected by various writers. As can be seen by a quick look at the Table of Contents, EPIC of the Greater Southwest is a more complete history of the Southwest where documented facts take the reader where they may. EPIC is intended for everyone interested in a valid introductory history to our eight southwestern States but especially for readers young and old who wish to get beyond standard concepts of American historiography. (See the EPIC Foreword for an introduction into this type of material. Then browse the Discussion Notes sections.) If you are a fan of William H. Prescott, Herbert E. Bolton (see especially his “Epic of Greater America”), Lesley B. Simpson, Lewis Hanke, Irving Leonard, Salvador de Madariaga, Philip Wayne Powell, Charles or Donald Cutter, Alvin Josephy Jr., Howard Zinn, James W. Loewen, Stewart Udall, etc., this volume might well become your Southwest history item. 'To Order: EPIC OF THE GREATER SOUTHWEST
