Willa Cather's Walking Tour in Santa Fe

Огляд

On this 2.5-hour walking tour, we’ll explore how author Willa Cather was inspired to write her "best book" (her words), "Death Comes for the Archbishop" by retracing her steps through Santa Fe in 1925 and 1926.

Our walking route covers about 1.5 miles, mostly on sidewalks, but also climbs a hill to the Cross of the Martyrs with its outstanding view of the city below. During our time together, we'll explore aspects of the novel, such as Kit Carson, Padre Antonio José Martínez, and of course Archbishop Jean-Baptiste Lamy, New Mexico's first Catholic archbishop and the real-life inspiration for the fictional Bishop Latour in Cather's book. We will learn about Sister Blandina Segale who helped set up a hospital in Lamy's house, and visit the last remnant of Lamy's six-acre garden behind the St. Francis Cathedral in the peaceful Stations of the Cross Prayer Garden.

Garrett is an outstanding tour guide! The tour far exceeded our expectations. Garrett provides the context necessary to fully understand Cather's work and provides many insights into Santa Fe and Taos as well. He is thorough, fun, engaging and knowledgable. Could not have asked for a better tour!

This was such a great tour.. Garrett is a compendium of knowledge on Willa Cather, Santa Fe and Southwestern history. We learned a lot and so enjoyed meeting him.

I joined Garrett’s tour in early August 2024. Garrett is a great guide, very knowledgeable and personable and solicitous of his clients. The tour uses Cather’s book Death Comes for the Archbishop as a way of introducing us to the fascinating history of this area. He has historic photos of Cather and Santa Fe to illustrate the changes wrought by history. This tour is highly recommended for anyone interested in history and culture.
