Costco to Host Book Signing for Jewish Albuquerque: 1860-1960

MT. PLEASANT, S.C. - June 7, 2013 - PRLog -- Costco to Host Book Signing for Local Author
Naomi Sandweiss will be available to sign copies of Jewish Albuquerque

Albuquerque, founded by the Spanish colonists in 1706, seems an unusual place for Jewish immigrants to settle.  Yet long before New Mexico statehood in 1912, Jewish settlers had made their homes in the high desert town, located on the banks of the Rio Grande River.  

From launching businesses along Central Avenue, to establishing the Indian Trading Room at the famed Alvarado Hotel and founding trading posts, Route 66 tourist establishments, and the Sandia Tram, Jewish businesspeople partnered with their neighbors to boost Albuquerque’s already plentiful assets.
