I grew up spending weekends and long vacations in the town of Ruidoso, New Mexico, and I thought I knew everything about the place. Then, one day I got my hands on a copy of this book and devoured it with absolute pleasure. Do you know the story of the haunted hotel that stood where Bonito Dam now stands? Do you know the speculations about the dissapearance of Albert Fall at White Sands? Did you ever wonder how the world's finest quarterhorse race came to Ruidoso Downs? Ever wondered what it was like to grow up in a cabin along the Rio Ruidoso? Can't get enough about Billy the Kid? If these questions intrigue you, you NEED this book!
