A Cliffie Experience: Tales of New Mexico 1902-1940 - 5485

At the turn of the 20th century, Albuquerque, New Mexico was still a small town, but things were changing fast. The railroad was the big employer in town, and the local high, dry atmosphere made Albuquerque an ideal place for tuberculosis patients to recover. The Fred Harvey Company was building a big, new hotel, the Alvarado, to handle all the train passengers. Their architect, Charles Whittlesey, built a new house on the escarpment overlooking the city to live in while he oversaw the construction of the Alvarado. Around 1916, a young nurse arrived in Albuquerque to care for the TB patients she had brought from Louisiana. From stories of traveling around New Mexico with Dr. Lovelace in a horse and buggy to treat patients, to working with Mayor Clyde Tingley to improve the city, Mary Lou Heaphy brings to life the delightful story of Cliffie's experiences in New Mexico.
