Dr. Fierman lived in El Paso where he was rabbi of Temple Mount Sinai and director of the El Paso Jewish Historical Society.

A thoroughly enjoyable documentary history of the Jewish westward migration in the United States.
4.) Marks, M. L. Jews Among the Indians: Tales of Adventure and Conflict In The Old West. Chicago: Benison Books, 1992.
Doesn’t deliver quite as much as it promises, but still provides an interesting perspective and offers some new material.

Beautifully written and thoughtfully researched. Important both for New Mexico Jewish and Civil War history.
6.) Nahm, Milton C. Las Vegas and Uncle Joe: The New Mexico I Remember. Norman: University of Oklahoma Press, 1964.
Colorful reminiscence of a colorful community.
7.) Rochlin, Harriet and Fred. Pioneer Jews: A New Life in the Far West. Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1984.
A good overview history of the Jewish experience in the far West, from the arrival in the 1500s of Crypto-Jews and Conversos until 1912, when Arizona and New Mexico became states, and “nuestro gente could live in freedom under a flag unblemished by the stain of the Spanish Inquisition.” Well illustrated, extensive bibliography.
