Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Popular Elementary History of New Mexico
My chief purpose in the preparation of this brief pop ular history has been to enable the poor and the children of our State, especially those who are the descendants of the first explorers and conquerors, to partake of the interest and enthusiasm one experiences when reading of the marvelous deeds, the wonderful foresight, the peer less valor, and the sublime faith of the men who first visited, conquered, settled, and christianized this land of ours.
