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.
