Between Two Countries: The Story Behind Coronado National Memorial
Sanchez JP, Erickson BA, Gurule JL. 2001. Between Two Countries: The Story Behind Coronado National Memorial. Park Administrative Histories. Spanish Colonial Research Center. Albuquerque, New Mexico
The history of Coronado National Memorial as told in this narrative is about three generations: the generation that actively worked to get legislation passed to establish a commemorative place for this important legacy of our national story; the generation that implemented the establishment of the area inclusive of developing its structures, interpretive programs, roads, and infrastructure; and, the generation that currently maintains, protects, and continues the work of the Memorial. As the Memorial sits on the threshhold of the twenty-first century, it is the latter who holds the key to the future of Coronado National Memorial, for it is they who will pass the torch to those who will come after them. In that regard, the early chapters of this manuscript attempt to establish the narrative, chronology, and trends as the United States National Park Service wended its way through the bureaucratic course in attempting to establish Coronado International Memorial. Similarly, the middle chapters deal with the acquisition of land for Coronado National Memorial; and, the concluding chapters discuss evolution of activities of the Memorial.
