Description: This book details the outgrowth of years of study of Spanish-American colonial furniture as it was developed in the vast territory now included in the states of Texas, Arizona, and New Mexico.
Brief description: Arthur Durward Williams was a teacher in Native American and other schools for many years. As a result of his shop teaching, he recognized the need for projects for class use which are different and which have a definite place not only in the home but also in the history of the United States. His work brought him close to the finest examples of furniture in the American Southwest.
