The American Southwest Resource Book:
The People and the Culture
A Resource Book for Teachers and Students

by Jane Kurtz


All her life, Jane has been fascinated by stories. Many of the books she has published are based in  imagination and, though they may have real events or people woven in, are classified as fiction. But she is also fascinated with the true stories of people's lives.

In The American Southwest Resource Book, Jane has collected true stories. These are stories that take place in Texas, Arizona, Oklahoma, and New Mexico and sometimes touch the histories of other states as well. Along with the stories -- written for students to read, Jane has collected activities, books for students to read, books for teachers to refer to, and other background information for teachers. She hopes the reader's curiosity will be sparked enough to learn more about the people whose fascination lives are sprinkled through these pages.
