Synopsis

This book chronicles the storied history of the land once known as Aztlan, the originating homeland of the tribes who, centuries later, would found the famed city of Tenochtitlan, now known as Mexico City. As a result of the author's extensive travels and research conducted over the course of several years, this book offers firsthand accounts and observations of the Puebloan peoples who still inhabit the region. The author takes great care to highlight the enduring legacy and traditions of these communities, who have maintained their distinct cultural practices and architectural marvels since time immemorial. The book also provides a comprehensive overview of the rich mineral resources found in the region, and their exploitation through the establishment of mining camps and the building of railroads. Through its detailed descriptions of the land and its people, this book offers a valuable historical and cultural record of a region that continues to captivate the imagination of scholars and travelers alike.
