| Publisher Description: M s Cuentos del Anton Chico II follows the earlier Cuentos del Anton Chico and M s Cuentos del Anton Chico. All three Cuentos help tell the story of Anton Chico, a history that began early in the 19th century and has continued to the present, a history that is very rich and colorful and deserves to be preserved for posterity. M s Cuentos del Anton Chico II is being written as a follow up to Cuentos del Anton Chico and M s Cuentos del Anton Chico. It includes more cuentos, stories or vignettes, about the rich and colorful past of the Anton Chico area. Many of the vignettes include old articles taken from early New Mexico newspapers. At one time there were many Spanish language newspapers in the Las Vegas and Santa Fe areas. The style and they used were a lot different, certainly more colorful and descriptive than the language used today. Many of the words and idiomatic expressions used have long since fallen out of use in everyday Spanish. The Spanish language articles have all been translated into English. During the 19th century and early part of the 20th century the name used for Anton Chico was Antonchico, a one word name. Some articles during that period also used the current name, Anton Chico. |
