The most thorough account ever written of southwestern life in the early seventeenth century, this book was first published in 1630 as an official report to the king of Spain by Fray Alonso de Benavides. Benavides's riveting narrative provides portraits of the Pueblo Indians, the Apaches, and the Navajos at a time of fundamental change. It also gives us the first full picture of European colonial life in the southern Rockies, the southwestern deserts, and the Great Plains.
