4
star review of A Life in the Law by Mary M. Dunlap and Mary Kay Stein
The
struggles of woman lawyer Mary
M. Dunlap,
who started a practice in Albuquerque in 1949, make for interesting
reading. This memoir follows her trials and triumphs as
she faced
the male-dominated law field and at the same time raised her young
children. Mary Kay Stein, her eldest daughter, covers her mother’s
more than forty-year career representing
a vast assortment of characters.
4-star
review of My Plunder – Westerners and Warriors by Myles Culbertson
What
makes this book enjoyable is the voice of the narrator. He has so
many interesting tales of the cowboys who continued to operate in
northeastern New Mexico and southern Colorado into the twentieth
century. As one himself, he has an appreciation of the difficulties
of that life. He also talks about his experiences during the Vietnam
War. Illustrated with photographs and drawings, it’s the words that
paint the pictures of these stories.
