Photographs of Countercultural Celebrations in Northern New Mexico

Patrick Cox Discussion

Readers of H-West may enjoy Benjamin Klein's recent photo essay "Photographs of Countercultural Celebrations in Northern New Mexico." It is posted on H-Celebration and describes, with photos, the wedding and Fourth of July celebrations of The Hog Farm and other 1960's American countercultural communities in New Mexico. The photos are taken from Klein's book Irwin Klein and the New Settlers: Photographs of Counterculture in New Mexico that also may be of interest for its depiction of countercultural "settlers" in the West. The photo essay links to a review of the book recently published on H-1960's.
