Hallenbeck presents a comprehensive history from the days of the conquistadores to the arrival of Colonel Doniphan's army in Santa Fe. Access to research in Spain and Mexico helps him fill in what historians have called the 'silent years'. It is an illuminating picture of everyday colonial life from a variety of primary source materials.
