Book Description
The once great Pecos Pueblo has deteriorated to a series of rock and earthen humps on a narrow ridge in the Upper Pecos Valley in New Mexico. The nearby mission church is reduced to roofless red walls eroding among the foundations of its larger predecessor. Now that they are under the care of the National Park Service, visitors stroll the Ruins Trail awed by the remains and eager to know more of their story. Who were the people who called this place home over the centuries? What were their lives like in times of calm and crisis? Where did the people go when the Pueblo was abandoned? And how can their descendents claim that “we are still here!”? These ten stories range through the centuries from stone age hunters of the distant past to the return of the ancestors in 1999. Linked by an ancient bone bead each describes a particular event from the perspective of a young girl and her family.

Our Prayers are in this Place
Author: Frances Levine
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 248
Book Description
This ethnohistory explores population decline, military conquest, cultural succession, and ethnic persistence in the upper Pecos River valley of what is now New Mexico from 1450 to 1850. Pecos Pueblo stood at the eastern frontier of the Pueblo world and was the trade window between the Southwest and the Southern Plains. In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, Spanish conquest forced a new cultural order on the Pueblo Indians, including the Pecos. In the course of two and a half centuries, periodic epidemics, drought, famine, and warfare steadily eroded the Pecos population. The few remaining Pecos finally abandoned their pueblo and took up residence at Jemez Pueblo in the 1830s. Erroneously declared extinct in the 1850s, the Pecos became the subject of historical and anthropological speculations for a century and a half. Using data from Spanish mission records, the author explores the complex processes of social and cultural change and the negotiation of identity during Spanish and Anglo-American conquest. She also examines the historical context of hypothesizing Pecos' so-called extinction. Compiled from Spanish mission records, Levine's tables, lists, and appendices will be of great interest to genealogists, ethnographers, and historians.

Crossroads of Change
Author: Cori Knudten
Publisher: University of Oklahoma Press
ISBN: 0806167777
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 221
Book Description
Encompassing nearly seven thousand acres amid the woodlands of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains in northern New Mexico, the land that is now Pecos National Historical Park has witnessed thousands of years of cultural history stretching back to the Native peoples who long ago inhabited the pueblos of Pecos, then known as Cicuye. Once a trading center where Pueblo Indians, Spanish soldiers and settlers, and Plains Indians encountered one another, not always peacefully, Pecos was a stop on the Santa Fe Trail in the early 1800s and, later, on the first railroad in New Mexico. It was the site of a critical Civil War battle and in the twentieth century became a tourist destination. This book tells the story of how, over five centuries, cultures and peoples converged at Pecos and transformed its environment, ultimately shaping the landscape that greets park visitors today. Spanning the period from 1540, when Spaniards first arrived, into the twenty-first century, Crossroads of Change focuses on the history of the natural and historic resources Pecos National Historical Park now protects and interprets: the ruins of Pecos Pueblo and a Spanish mission church, a stage stop along the Santa Fe Trail, the Civil War battlefield of Glorieta Pass, a twentieth-century cattle ranch, and the national park itself. In an engaging style, authors Cori Knudten and Maren Bzdek detail the transformations of Pecos over time, often driven by the collision of different cultures, such as that between the Franciscan friars and Pecos Indians in the seventeenth century, and by the introduction of new animals, crops, and agricultural practices—but also by the natural forces of fire, drought, and erosion. Located on a natural trade route, Pecos has long served as a portal between different cultures and environments. Documenting this transformation over the ages, Crossroads of Change also, perhaps, shows us Pecos National Historical Park as a portal to the future.
