Book The Gila  River of the Southwest

Download or read book The Gila River of the Southwest written by Edwin Corle and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1951 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the words of Edwin Corle, author of Desert Country, who has chronicled the story of the Gila River, "There is no other stream that even resembles it"--and the pages of this book bear him out. A changeable ricer, at one time the Gila resembled the Everglades; in 1950 the lower river--fully half it six-hundred-mile length--was dry as dust. The Gila has never known a steamboat, very few rowboats, and only a fair assortment of fish, but from its ice caves and mountain torrents, through its torturous canyons, to its parched and sun-baked confluence with the Colorado, it has a history as dramatic and significant as any river in America. Civil War generals, Apaches, Mexicans, Mormons, and pioneers figure in the cast of characters, for since Spanish times the Gila has been a crossroads of the Southwest and in the direct line of march of the westward movement.

Download or read book Gila written by Gregory McNamee and published by UNM Press. This book was released on 2012-10-15 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For sixty million years, the Gila River, longer than the Hudson and the Delaware combined, has shaped the ecology of the Southwest from its source in New Mexico to its confluence with the Colorado River in Arizona. Today, for at least half its length, the Gila is dead, like so many of the West’s great rivers, owing to overgrazing, damming, and other practices. This richly documented cautionary tale narrates the Gila’s natural and human history. Now updated, McNamee’s study traces recent efforts to resuscitate portions of this important riparian corridor.

Book Culture of the Ancient Pueblos of the Upper Gila River Region  New Mexico and Arizona

Download or read book Culture of the Ancient Pueblos of the Upper Gila River Region New Mexico and Arizona written by Walter Hough and published by Rarebooksclub.com. This book was released on 2013-09 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1914 edition. Excerpt: ...River. Fio. 107.--Design From A Bowl From Blue. Figure 107. This design in solid black represents two birds in terrace form, the zigzag line representing the running element of the design. The broad area of the terrace contains modifications of the bird symbol. (From the interior of a bowl, Blue, Arizona, Cat. No. HBBBHHHBaBaHraB 245503, U.S.N.M.) Figure 108. This design, which is a section of that covering a whole vase, apparently is intended to show a succession of zigzags formed by alternate opposed series in solid black and gradine. (Spur Ranch, Luna, New Mexico, Cat. No. 231987, U.S.N.M.) Figure 109. A similar design is found on the rim of a vase (fig. 104), and in it the zigzag line is manifestly important. The triangular spaces show the simplest form of the bird symbol. (Spur Ranch, Luna, New Mexico, Cat. No. 232001, U.S.N.M.) Figure 110. Another design shows a pair of zigzag lines treated very much as the white line decorations on the red bowls from the Blue River. This is from the rim of a vase found at Fort Bayard, New Mexico, by Mrs. W. O. Owen, Cat. No. 178826, U.S.N.M. Figure 111. This is a design simplified for application to the handle of a dipper. It apparently represents a succession of opposing black and gradine bird symbols whose opposition forms a zigzag. The denticulation on the margin of the triangles is apparently a feather convention. (Tularosa River, New Mexico. Collected by H. Hales, Cat. No. 155158, U.S.N.M.) Figure 112, design from the handle of the dipper previously mentioned. So far as is known the design is unique and it is difficult to assign its meaning. It is evidently a clipped or abbreviated design suited to the narrow space it must occupy, and appears to be the bird-rain triangular symbol arranged...

Book Salado Archaeology of the Upper Gila  New Mexico

Download or read book Salado Archaeology of the Upper Gila New Mexico written by Stephen H. Lekson and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2002-03 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Salado is an enigma of the past. One of the most spectacular cultures of the ancient Southwest, its brilliant polychrome pottery has been subjected to varied interpretations, from religious cult to artistic horizon. Stephen Lekson now uses data from two Salado sitesÑa large pueblo and a small farmsteadÑto clarify long-standing misconceptions about this culture. By combining analysis of the large whole-vessel collection at Dutch Ruin with the scientific excavation of Villareal II, a picture of Salado emerges that enables Lekson to evaluate previous competing theories and propose that Salado represents a major fourteenth-century migration of Pueblo peoples into the Chihuahuan deserts. Lekson demonstrates that late, short-lived Salado farmsteadsÑdifficult to identify archaeologically in areas with larger Mimbres concentrationsÑcoexisted with larger Salado towns, and he argues that Salado in the Upper Gila region appears as a substantial in-migration of Mogollon Uplands populations into what was a vacant river valley. Throughout the fourteenth century, Salado communities in the Upper Gila were integrated into the larger Salado horizon and were closely connected to Casas Grandes, as indicated by the export of serpentine to the city of PaquimŽ and the occurrence of Casas Grandes pottery at Upper Gila Salado sites. The book includes illustrations of 71 vessels from Dutch Ruin plus a full-color frontispiece. Through analysis of these two sites, Lekson has taken a large step toward clearing up the mystery of Salado. His work will be welcomed by all who study the movements of peoples in the prehispanic Southwest.
