Roots and Boots: From Crypto-Jew in New Spain to Community Leader in the American SouthwestIn this book, the author "unearths new sources for the history of the Crypto-Jew in Old Mexico and attempts to estimate their number and status. Jumping several centuries in time, the author then deals with modern Jewish settlement in the area, dating from the 1860's". Some chapters are devoted to pioneer families who made significant contributions in the Southwest, such as Henry Lesinsky.--Book jacket. |
