Santa Fe sketch book: history and sketches of the City Different
by Lewis Edward Ewen
About the author
Lewis Edward Ewen is known for Santa Fe Sketch Book: History and Sketches of the City Different, a concise work centered on Santa Fe, New Mexico. Project Gutenberg lists that title under his name, and booksellers continue to carry later reprints of it.
Web sources outside the book world suggest he was also associated with painting in New Mexico, especially Santa Fe. Auction and artist-database listings describe Lewis Edward Ewen as an American 20th-century artist active in New Mexico, which fits the regional focus of his writing.
Because reliable biographical information about him is scarce online, many personal details remain unclear. What does come through is a strong connection to Santa Fe and the surrounding landscape, with work that seems aimed at preserving the character and history of the region in both words and images.
