I must admit I’m a little sad to reach the finish line with Unpacking Silver City. For the past 10 months I’ve enjoyed the journey through the history of Silver City through the eyes of local historians. For the new guy in town, it’s been a great way to understand the people and places who make Silver City what it is.
For many of you, I’m assuming a lot of what we shared in those stories was well known, but I hope you’ve discovered something new as well. This month, we explore the final chapter and discuss the women whose resilience captures the essence of the story of this amazing place.
We may have finished this journey, but I’m excited for what’s next. Everyone has a story and we look forward to sharing all of them.
As you’re exploring this edition, think about the people you know and the places to which you’ve been. We want to share the stories of people and places from all corners of southern New Mexico. Please send your story ideas my way and we’ll get to as many of them as we can. Desert Exposure is your magazine, focuses on the arts, the people, and the history of Silver City and beyond. You can reach me by email at kurt@lascrucesbulletin.com.
Thanks for reading the August issue of Desert Exposure.
Hope you enjoy it.
