Présentation de l'éditeur

Santa Fe, N. M., in the years 1880-90, my duties in planting educational institutions for the A merican, Mexican and Indian populations, led me to extensive travel among them, and also in behalf of these institutions to the prominent centers of the East. Many opportunities were thus afforded among these strange scenes and experiences, to gather the material for this story of adventure, Indian life and warfare, and of the modern development of New Mexico. I am greatly indebted not only to prominent libraries in this country but also to J. P. Whitney, Esq., of Boston, whose valuable collection of books on New Mexico was kindly furnished for my use. Especially, also, do I gratefully acknowledge the friendly aid of Mr. A. de F. Bandelier, of Santa Fe, whose noted archeological publications and unpublished manuscripts were placed at my disposal, after his thorough investigations and transcriptions from the Franciscan Mission and Mexican archives had left no desirable authority for the search of less favored students. I have also been enabled to make careful use of the official reports of the United States War Department, and the Ethnological and Indian Bureaus at Washington. Jhave thus examined over seventy volumes and pamphlets in several languages to verify the statements which this history contains. I therefore believe that they will be confirmed by the best authorities, however questioned through the prejudice of party, church or nationality. To avoid this has been the constant desire and effort of The A uthor, New York, February 1, 1891.
