Mary Davis presents a slideshow of historic photographs of Corrales, New Mexico and signs her new book in the Images of America series: Corrales (Arcadia, $21.99).

Nestled in the Rio Grande Valley, Corrales received its name from the corrals used by settlers on the 1710 Alameda land grant. After World War II, this bucolic village was discovered by Albuquerque's burgeoning population, and it quickly became a community full of artsts and professionals - a semirural suburban oasis.

Historian Mary Davis and members of the Corrales Historical Society have selected the best of the society's photograph archives and gathered more stories and images from community members themselves.

Mary is co-editor of Shining River Precious Land : An Oral History of Albuquerque's North Valley.
