"Pérez de Villagra's epic poem chronicles his journeys with the
Oñate expedition as the legendary group traveled from El Paso to
explore New Mexico, experiencing hunger, thirst and deprivations
and gory conflicts as they struggled to reach Santa Fe. The
language is rich, eloquent and often lovely, but, like the original
expedition, this is not a journey for the fainthearted. The author
pulls no punches about the violence and agonies of the
expedition."
"This classic history of New Mexico is recommended for students of
history and literature, as well as for the general reader
interested in the early Hispanic settlement of the southwestern
United States."
"This handsome critical and annotated edition..sets the bar
impressively high..for all subsequent scholarship dedicated to the
colonial period in the American Southwest."
