A comprehensive history of the shops.--David Steinberg, Albuquerque Journal
The importance of the Albuquerque shops to the evolution of the city has long been known, and many authors have mentioned it in passing. However, in this dedicated history, the Flints have taken the story from beginning to end in a carefully researched yet highly readable book. This is a must-have for Albuquerqueans, historians, and railroad buffs.--John Taylor, author of Bloody Valverde: A Civil War Battle on the Rio Grande, February 21, 1862
This impressive work by two of New Mexico's outstanding scholars is thoroughly researched and elegantly written. Overhaul addresses a long-neglected and crucial piece of Albuquerque industrial and cultural history.--Rick Hendricks, coauthor of Four Square Leagues: Pueblo Indian Land in New Mexico
