TUCUMCARI TONITE! A Story of Railroads, Route 66 & the Waning of a Western Town

This work blends in-depth research and personal and family experiences to re-create a "memoir" of Tucumcari, from its origins in the early 20th century to recent times. Stratton weaves a poignant tale of a western town's rise and decline, providing a prime example of the destructive forces that have been inflicted on small towns in the West and all across America.
