Harvey Houses of New Mexico:: Historic Hospitality from Raton to Deming (Landmarks) by Rosa Latimer
The Santa Fe Line and the famous Fred Harvey restaurants forever changed New Mexico and the Southwest, bringing commerce, culture and opportunity to a desolate frontier. The first Harvey Girls ever hired staffed the Raton location. In a departure from the ubiquitous black and white uniform immortalized by Judy Garland in 1946's Harvey Girls, many of New Mexico's Harvey Girls wore colorful dresses reflective of local culture. In Albuquerque, the Harvey-managed Alvarado Hotel doubled as a museum for carefully curated native art. Join author Rosa Walston Latimer and discover New Mexico's unique history of hospitality the Fred Harvey way.
Latimer, Rosa: - Rosa Walston Latimer is a writer, independent bookstore owner, playwright and award-winning photographer.

Latimer is currently writing a play titled Rosie the Riveters and a third Harvey House book.
