Description

Few cities in America can claim as long as fascinating a history as Santa Fe, New Mexico. Indians, Spaniards, Mexicans and Anglo-Americans all have left their marks there through time.

Pueblo Indian first settled along the banks of the Rio Santa Fe as far back as the sixth century A.D. In 1609, Spanish colonists founded the Villa de Santa Fe as a distant outpost of Spain's New World empire. Driven out of New Mexico in 1680 by Pueblo Indians, they endured twelve years of exile in El Paso before returning to restore their fallen capital.

The authors of Santa Fe: History of an Ancient City address many intriguing questions.

What happened to Santa Fe's inhabitants during the Pueblo Revolt?
Was the Reconquest really peaceful?
Why were such famous governors as Peralta and Vargas thrown in jail?
Who were at the top and bottom of Santa Fe society in the 1800s?
What impact did the Santa Fe Trail have on Santa Fe?
Is the common portrayal of Manuel Armijo as corrupt and cowardly accurate?
Why did Santa Feans receive their American conquerors so peacefully in 1846-47?
How did the Palace of the Governors change through time?
