Rancho de Valentino
Our hearts sank when we saw the scene: Thus opens Nancy Marsh Price’s story of how she and her husband, Ted, and son, Jay, bought some ranchland near Santa Fe, New Mexico, to use as a getaway from their busy lives in the state’s capital. Having arrived in Santa Fe from Michigan in 1970, they quickly embraced their new surroundings, including the much-touted tri-cultural ambience and the exotic Southwestern landscape. Price’s story of establishing their rural retreat acquaints us with the rewards and challenges of pursuing a traditional lifestyle in a region whose way of life was beginning to crack under the strain of poverty, a shifting population, and cultural clashes. More than an account of the Price’s quest for a homestead getaway, this charming portrait of life in rural New Mexico details the pleasures and quirks of embracing a new way of life at a time when the state was undergoing profound changes. |
