New Mexico: A History of Four Centuries - Paperback
by Warren A. Beck (Author)
The history of New Mexico is the story of three contrasting cultures--Indian, Spanish, and Anglo-American--clashing, coexisting, and blending. Here the Indians of Hawikuh--the first Zuñi pueblo encountered by Coronado's soldiers--gave battle to the Europeans in 1540. Here also Indians last took a stand against federal troops in 1913. A rich and colorful Spanish tradition, including institutions of family and church, social organizations, and the Spanish language, continues strong a century and a half after the acquisition of the territory by the United States. Anglo-Americans have also made their mark upon the land with public works, highways, and rapidly developing towns and cities.
This history of New Mexico is intended for readers who want a brief, yet comprehensive treatment of the state's development. Warren A. Beck takes a balanced approach to all the themes in the state's varied history. He allows the whole story to emerge from the facts--in a concise and readable format.
