"For the past 125 years, thousands of humans have annually entered the Chihuahua Desert mountain chain known as the
Guadalupes to either graze or manage domestic livestock, farm, hunt, hike or otherwise commune with nature." Cox added that this
invasion took place without any fore or after thought as to how man impacted the mountains or how humans living in the mountains
impacted each other. "The purpose of this book was to document between 1905 and 1955 human activities in the Guadalupe
Mountains and surrounding areas," he said noting, the book also tells how man impacted changes in vegetation from grazing and
other activities. All copies were sold out within 2 years of publication.
