A fascinating book in a most unusual way, at El Paso, Texas and its environs. With this his 12th book, Leon Metz has put his adopted town into perspective, date by date, from the time it was covered by shallow seas 570 million years before Christ and up to the present. Digging through the dusty pages of history, he uncovers the awesome events as well as minute facts that have spawned and built a major metropolis.
