Pulitzer Prize winner Great River was hailed as a literary masterpiece and enduring classic when it was first published in 1954. It is an epic history of four Southwest civilizations—Native American, Spanish, Mexican, and Anglo-American—through 10 centuries. “Here is known and unknown history, emotion and color, sense and sensitivity, battles for land and the soul of man, cultures and moods, fused by a glowing pen and a scholarly mind into a cohesive and memorable whole.” —The Boston Sunday Herald |
