Eve wanted to be remembered for her work in oral history. Following a lifelong fascination with the West, she moved to New Mexico to learn the histories of the Anglo, Spanish and Apache. She impressed upon each group the importance of preserving their heritage and gained the confidence of many. Though she did not actually begin writing until age 60, her books and articles are such a significant contribution that many universities use them as reference textbooks for historical studies.
