Interview with Bob Rosebrough, Author of ”A Place of Thin Veil: Life and Death in Gallup, NM”

KGLP's Emma Farley sits down with Bob Rosebrough, author of A Place of Thin Veil: Life and Death in Gallup, NM.

Rosebrough describes Gallup, New Mexico as "a place like no other. It is disproportionally and simultaneously wonderful and terrible. It is a place of constant struggle, where the forces of good and evil collide. The former frontier mining town, bordering the Navajo Nation at the far western edge of New Mexico, is one of those few places on earth that have the power to change the course of our lives and transform us deeply."
