A novel that dramatizes the racial conflicts in New México. From the Introduction --- ' We have in New Mexico a new and aggressive AngloSaxon population planting itself, and rearing its institutions on the ruins of the oldest European civilization in our country. The Spanish rovers of the sixteenth century found here races of dusky people with antecedents dating far back into antiquity, who refusing to be dislodged from their ancient abodes, yielded only to the amalgamation of blood and today the so-called 'mexican' of New Mexico, a man of mongrel blood, noiselessly and without outward sign, fights for possession of the land and his ancient culture as tenaciously as did the warriors of Montezuma on the battlements of their sacred temples before the profaning hand of the conquering Cortez. This story is but a recitation of a little part of the great conflict as it is silently waged today between different breeds and bloods in social, economic and political fields'.
