Kachina and the Cross Indians and Spaniards in the Early Southwest

IN THE KACHINA AND THE CROSS, Carroll Riley weaves elements of archaeology, anthropology, and history to tell a dramatic story of conflict between the Pueblo Indians and Franciscan missionaries in the seventeeth-century Spanish colony of New Mexico. Until now, histories of the early Southwest have tended to concentrate on the Spanish presence, with little mention of Indian resistance or the decade-long war that eventually erupted. In The Kachina and the Cross Riley completes the picture by utilizing archacological and anthropological research from the past forty years, fleshing out the story of the first century of sustained Spanish-Pueblo relations.Riley, Carroll L. is the author of 'Kachina and the Cross Indians and Spaniards in the Early Southwest' with ISBN 9780874807738 and ISBN 0874807735.
