The Fall 2002 issue has three stories, a review essay, and book reviews. One of the stories featured in the edition is "Senator Clinton P. Anderson's Library Legacy," by Marianne R. Tyndall, which chronicles the library legacy left to the University of New Mexico by a former United States Senator from New Mexico, Clinton P. Anderson (1948-1972). His collection, compiled throughout his life, is a mixture of books from New Mexico antique bookstores as well as those he found while in Washington, D.C. and includes some of the most comprehensive in terms of early Southwest history. He donated over 3,500 items to the university from his own personal collection in 1972, in addition to the almost 2,300 government and literary items he had donated during his career in Congress. The collection is housed in the Center for Southwest Studies in the west wing of Zimmerman Library. Also included in this edition "Men and Varmints in the Gila Wilderness, 1909-1936," by John R.
