This story of Taos, New Mexico covers some four centuries of history. It is the story of a village that never gave up despite periods of drought, violence from unfriendly Indians and other hazards of frontier life. At one time, Taos was even the site of a short-lived but bloody rebellion against the United States government. Grant tells this and other fascinating true stories of a settlement that was home to trappers and explorers and later to artists and writers. Among its famous and best-known citizens was the mountain man, Kit Carson. BLANCHE CHLOE GRANT was born in Leavenworth, Kansas in 1874 and died in Taos, New Mexico in 1948. A graduate of Vassar College, she also had studied art at the Art League in New York City and attended other art schools. She continued her successful art career in painting throughout her life but began a second career as a writer after moving to Taos in 1920 and this brought dramatic changes for her. She first took on the job of editor of the "Taos Valley News" and began her years of research into the history of Taos and the Southwest. This led then to a series of books, many of which were about Taos and the people who lived there. Her art also changed and she painted Native American and Western subjects. Although an active participant in the Taos art scene, she continued to show paintings in New York. Gradually her main interests turned to her writing. Her books included "Do a Lona, When Old Trails Were New," "Taos Indians" and she edited a biography of Kit Carson based on his notes, "Kit Carson's Own Story of His Life," all available again from Sunstone Press.Binding Type: Paperback

Thick indoor balls, of a darker pink color.
Style: 6 - Pack, Color: Pink
Good indoor pickleballs. The description said they were outdoor (thin crisp plastic) but they are thicker. By the picture on my pc monitor, they looked brighter pink than they actually are. I was hoping to use these outdoors in the early morning rising sun, on a blue court with yellow green edging, but the color is too dark to be of use. So when we move indoors for winter, we will use these indoor balls there. They arrived quickly and were well packaged.

Great but hard to see when playing!
Style: 6 - Pack, Color: Purple
The balls are great but when playing with them, if you wear glasses the ball is a little hard to see. We played with the orange, yellow and green balls, which are easier on the eyes. Otherwise, the balls are great! 😍

Great value
Style: 6 - Pack, Color: Purple
Although pickle ball snobs have told me these are NOT proper outdoor balls, I love them! Not only are they a fantastic color but I like the weight of them and they are great for outdoor play. As a bonus, they are well-priced, so I feel I got bang for my buck.

Bright color easy to see but not a great bounce on the outdoor court
Style: 6 - Pack, Color: Pink
I liked the fact that these balls were a bright color and easy to see but the bounce on them was not as good as other name brands. They were OK as a back-up and performed better outside then on the indoor courts which are made of a different surface. We are using them , but would most likely not repurchase.

Price was best I found for quantity anywhere
Style: 6 - Pack, Color: Purple
I am a beginner and by no means an expert, but these balls appear to be as any other. The couple at the next court had a Franklin ball that came our way, and I bounced it and popped it back - I couldn't tell any difference in that instance. Sports stores had just one color - yellow (maybe one had chartreuse) amazon has single colors multiple - I thought it was worth this purchase. The purple may be harder to see on cloudy days - as I had on sunglasses and I could see it, but the fence at the court has a "privacy" net, it kinda bleneded in for a very brief moment until the sound was heard of the return, then no problem.
