Book From the Pass to the Pueblos

Download or read book From the Pass to the Pueblos written by George D. Torok and published by Sunstone Press. This book was released on 2019-09-07 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro, the Royal Road of the Interior, was a 1,600-mile braid of trails that led from Mexico City, in the center of New Spain, to the provincial capital of New Mexico on the edge of the empire’s northern frontier. The Royal Road served as a lifeline for the colonial system from its founding in 1598 until the last days of Spanish rule in the 1810s. Throughout the Mexican and American Territorial periods, the Camino Real expanded, becoming part of a larger continental and international transportation system and, until the trail was replaced by railroads in the late nineteenth century, functioned as the main pathway for conquest, migration, settlement, commerce, and culture in today’s American Southwest. More than 400 miles of the original trail lie within the United States today, and stretch from present-day San Elizario, Texas to Santa Fe, New Mexico. This segment comprises El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro National Historic Trail. It was added to the United States National Trail System in 2000 and is still in use today. This book guides the reader along the trail with histories and overviews of places in New Mexico, West Texas and the Ciudad Juárez area. It includes a broad overview of the trail’s history from 1598 until the arrival of the railroads in the 1880s, and describes the communities, landscape, archaeology, architecture, and public interpretation of this historic transportation corridor.

Book El Camino Real de California

  • Publisher : University of New Mexico Press
  • Release : 2019-11-01
  • ISBN : 082636103X
  • Pages : 293 pages

Download or read book El Camino Real de California written by Joseph P. Sánchez and published by University of New Mexico Press. This book was released on 2019-11-01 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The arrival of Spaniards in 1769 served as a defining moment for California’s future. They described the First Peoples and their cultures and provided a window into the evolution of California’s Camino Real. In an effort to establish the Camino Real de California as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Joseph P. Sánchez explores the rich history of the path running from San Diego to San Francisco in this significant study. While records capture the stories and legends of the Camino Real there is little information on the exact ground route. Sánchez utilizes historical and archaeological literature and the documentation from Spanish and Mexican archives to begin the much-needed process of authentication of this braided corridor to further establish the Camino Real de California’s integrity and valuable history, which is shared with Spain, Mexico, and Native American tribes. Their story is part of the patrimony of the Camino Real de California, which ought to be authenticated, preserved, and protected for future generations to enjoy.

Book El Camino Real

    Book Details:
  • Author : Ann Lorac
  • Publisher : Dorrance Publishing
  • Release : 2017-01-23
  • ISBN : 1480927511
  • Pages : 155 pages

Download or read book El Camino Real written by Ann Lorac and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2017-01-23 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El Camino Real by Ann Lorac Ann Lorac has produced a powerful and moving portrayal of the first encounter between Native American Indians and the European invaders in California in her new book El Camino Real. The story is told through the saga of three women: Morning Star, who is as lovely and inspiring as her name; her daughter, Kudi; and her granddaughter Kudina. Their trials and resistance provide an exciting portrait of the sufferings, injustices and struggles of the native peoples. Lorac paints the colors of the pristine land with a loving hand, and she recounts this episode in the history of the United States in a way that will attract readers and, perhaps, restore to it the prominent place which these events should have in this country’s memory. Lastly, this story has many levels. From a historical standpoint it chronicles the great physical, sexual, mental and emotional abuse of the Pomo Indians in Northern California. It is a love story for a brief moment between Morning Star and her betrothed, but also between Kudi and Eagle Feather. It’s also motivational because of the strength the characters impart and a story of finding one’s lost soul.
