Summary: Whet your appetite.......
Comment: New Mexico's numero uno historian offers New Mexico history buffs another delicious slice of Hispanic life in Spanish colonial times. The only complaint I have is that I wanted a bigger slice of this pie! Dr. Simmons' readability is appreciated. This is one you will read straight through without coming up for air. This sometimes unflattering history of the Spanish colonists in Alburquerque prompted my desire to dig up Dr. Simmons' earlier book on Albuquerque, published in 1982, which satisfied my need for sources, end notes, and a bibliography, which I heartily recommend for those needed a stronger dose of Albuquerque history.

Summary: History for the general reader
Comment: This is a good book for the general reader, but if you are a history buff you may be dissapointed. The book lacks footnotes and is too short, and often times reads like fiction rather than fact. This does not mean that it's not well researched, it just means that sometimes the author concentrates too much on telling an interesting story rather than relaying good information.
But if you are a general reader, and enjoy a quick read, this book may be for you. If you know nothing about the history of Albuquerque, this we enlighten you. However, if you are like me and have done research on Albuquerque history, you may be disappointed.
