Review of Hotels for the Hopeful by Joyce Hunter - 
on Amazon
This was a fascinating study of our local history, I live approximately one block from the site of the Monte Vista Hotel, and I had no idea it ever existed there. Some of the other buildings I do remember from my childhood but the stories that go with them were til now were unknown. Like a lake at the end of Hillrose street, I had heard about it several times but I always thought it was closer to Sunland Park and now I see pictures of how beautiful it must have been there. I would greatly recommend this series to anyone who is interested in a study of our local history, Ms Tiernan has taken the time to shuffle through old newpaper articles and family histories and brought them all together into several dramatic story lines that are well worth reading. Sunland is my home town, born and raised, I always thought it was a beautiful place and you've made it even better, Thank you.

Relive the settling of the West by experiencing the beginning of a typical small town founded during the Land Boom of the 1880s.
