Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Great-Grandmother´s Girls in New Mexico: 1670-1680 One of the most interesting accounts of the early visits of the Spaniards to the Pueblos of New Mexico is found in a musty, coffee-colored old volume of the Hakluyt collection of the journals of early adventurers, and is called: - "A briefe relation of two notable voyages, the first made by Frier Augustin Ruyz, a Franciscan, in the yeere 1581; the second by Antonio de Espejo, in the yeere 1583, who, together with his company, discouered a land wherein they found fifteen provinces, all full of towns conteining houses of four and five stories high, which they named New Mexico, for that in many respects it resembleth the province of Olde Mexico ... by the which it is thought that men may travell even to Terra de Labrador. Taken out of the History of China, written by Frier Juan Gonzales de Mendoca; printed in Madrid in 1586." The author of the following story began her explorations where the Spaniards ended, - at the southern boundary of Colorado. The worthy friars´ chronicle served her as a trusty guide-book, and it is certainly remarkable that a journal of travel written three hundred years ago can be so completely verified at the present day. As our party journeyed from pueblo to pueblo, we became more and more interested in this strange, weird people and their remarkable history, their civilization old when the "Mayflower" landed, their architecture and dress recalling a visit to the land of the Moors.
