Synopsis
Excerpt from Hemenway Southwestern Archaeological Expedition: Contributions to the History of the Southwestern Portion of the United States
I therefore present the papers herein contained as a mere beginning of a work temporarily interrupted. Should it be come possible to resume it, the plan above mentioned would be followed. The time is past when history, to be of per manent use, can be treated otherwise than in a monographic way. The greatest possible amount of detail is indispensable to make it, not merely vivid, but also sufficiently accurate, and therefore impartial. To be impartial is the only way to become truthful, - and truth, for the sake of the past, pres ent, and future, is the end and aim of historical research.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of Spanish exploration in the Americas during the 16th century, specifically focusing on the period before and after the return of Alvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca from his extraordinary journey across what is now the American Southwest. The author examines the mythical tales that fueled these expeditions, such as the legend of the Amazons and the Seven Cities of Cibola, and how these myths interacted with the actual experiences of explorers. The book explores the complex interplay between Spanish ambition, indigenous knowledge, and the enduring power of legend in shaping the historical narrative of early encounters between Europeans and the inhabitants of North America. The author meticulously analyzes the available historical sources, including Spanish chronicles, indigenous accounts, and even pictographs, to present a nuanced and detailed account of these early encounters. The author's insights into the motivations behind these expeditions, the realities of the encounters with Native Americans, and the long-lasting impact of the legends that were created in this period are both captivating and historically significant.
