A tour and lunch at one of the National Trust Historic Hotels of America. The private home of the city's first archbisop, Dr. Robert Gish, an Erna Fegussion Distinguished alumnus of UNM will lead us on this tour, as he compares two accounts of Bishop Lamy.

Selected Works

Fiction
West Bound: Stories of Providence
“The people are alive, striving, tragic, often humorous. These are authentic and poignant blues whose melodies will play in your mind long after the book is finished.”
--John Nichols
First Horses: Stories of the New West
“Robert Gish has his finger on the pulse of the West. First Horses is a fine collection of stories about who we Westerners are, how we got here--and where do we go from now?”
--James Welch
Bad Boys and Black Sheep: Fateful Tales from the West
Gish ranges through settings as diverse as the California coast and the ghost-haunted hills of Indian Territory in a narrative panorama of cultural diversity.
