Book Description
This document is a day by day analysis of part of a Spanish Expedition dispatched by the governor of Nueva Mexico to evaluate a source of pearls found, of all places, in the middle of Texas. The expedition was led by Maestre de Campo Juan Dominguez de Mendoza, a grizzled veteran of over thirty years of internal conflict in New Mexico. The expedition took place during a six month period beginning in December, 1683, and ending in June, 1684. Freshwater pearls had been previously found in the modern Concho River by expeditions about 1650. The Mendoza expedition was also ordered to escort missionaries to the Jumano tribe in west central Texas, and to make contact with a "Kingdom of the Tejas." The expedition originated and ended near El Paso, Texas. This itinerary was translated by Herbert Bolton, PhD, in 1916, and published in "Spanish Exploration in the Southwest 1542-1706." Because the Bolton book has become Public Domain, this author has been able to insert the translated description of each campsite, along with a personal analysis. It is not a complete reprint of the Bolton document and some passages have been omitted and/or otherwise edited. This author has attempted to answer various uncertainties that have prevented previous researchers from reaching an agreement on the location of what has become referred to as "Mission" San Clemente. San Clemente was a six week campsite where a "bastion" was built. In published studies of the expedition, proposed locations for San Clemente have differed by over one hundred miles. Part of the lack of agreement is the result of a lack of confidence in the distances recorded in the itinerary written by Juan Mendoza. This document records the author's efforts at establishing whether those distance measurements might be relied on, as well as to project possible locations of each campsite. The author chose the title because he attempted to do so by "Just Doing the Math" to apply the distances to a map. Physical descriptions were only considered in the immediate areas of sites projected by a computer program written by the author. The program did the work of calculating map positions, thereby eliminating some personal bias that could distort the results. A small section of a US Geological Survey Topographic map of the area around each projected campsite location is inserted. In spite of all of this, he does not identify any location by archaeological evidence. A new version of Mendoza's itinerary was introduced in 2012. This version is found in "Juan Dominguez Mendoza, Soldier and Frontiersman of the Spanish Southwest, 1627-1693." This lately completed documentary biography is the final volume of the Coronado Historical Series and confounded the original results of this author's study. This version is also examined in this document. There are conflicts with the Bolton translation in the descriptions of several segments that have raised questions regarding the authenticity of each document. The author went forward with the spirit of his study and analyzed the new information. He readily admits having stepped well beyond his credentials by discussing some aspects of the new information. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Jerry L. Eoff retired after forty-six years of dental practice. As a native of Ballinger, Texas, he grew up very close to the locations of Mission San Clemente proposed by Dr. Herbert Bolton in 1916. After practicing for six and one-half years in Ballinger and four and one-half years at a state facility in Carlsbad, Texas, he located in Alpine, Texas, for the remaining thirty-five years of practice. He holds a BA from Abilene Christian University and a DDS from Baylor University, however his only claim to having any credentials whatsoever for this study is two-fold. First, his interest in the Mendoza itinerary has endured for some sixty years. Second, he has lived his life in the immediate area of one or another section of the proposed expedition route.

Book Description
Studies of seventeenth-century New Mexico have largely overlooked the soldiers and frontier settlers who formed the backbone of the colony and laid the foundations of European society in a distant outpost of Spain's North American empire. This book, the final volume in the Coronado Historical Series, recognizes the career of Juan Domínguez de Mendoza, a soldier-colonist who was as instrumental as any governor or friar in shaping Hispano-Indian society in New Mexico. Domínguez de Mendoza served in New Mexico from age thirteen to fifty-eight as a stalwart defender of Spain's interests during the troubled decades before the 1680 Pueblo Revolt. Because of his successful career, the archives of Mexico and Spain provide extensive information on his activities. The documents translated in this volume reveal more cooperative relations between Spaniards and Pueblo Indians than previously understood.

Book Description
This is a history of the Comancheros, or Mexicans who traded with the Comanche Indians in the early Southwest. When Don Juan Bautista de Anza and Ecueracapa, a Comanche leader, concluded a peace treaty in 1786, mutual trade benefits resulted, and the treaty was never afterward broken by either side. New Mexican Comancheros were free to roam the plains to trade goods, and when Americans introduced, the Comanches and New Mexicans even joined in a loose, informal alliance that made the American occupation of the plains very costly. Similarly, in the 1860s the Comancheros would trade guns and ammunition to the Comanches and Kiowas, allowing them to wreck a gruesome toll on the advancing Texans.

Book Description
A truly continental history in both its geographic and political scope, The Elusive West and the Contest for Empire, 1713-1763 investigates eighteenth-century diplomacy involving North America and links geographic ignorance about the American West to Europeans' grand geopolitical designs. Breaking from scholars' traditional focus on the Atlantic world, Paul W. Mapp demonstrates the centrality of hitherto understudied western regions to early American history and shows that a Pacific focus is crucial to understanding the causes, course, and consequences of the Seven Years' War.

Book Description
2003 – Texas Old Missions and Forts Restoration Association Book Award Winner – Texas Catholic Historical Society 2004 – Finalist: Friends of the Dallas Public Library Award for Book Making the Most Significant Contribution to Knowledge – Texas Institute of Letters The region that now encompasses Central Texas and northern Coahuila, Mexico, was once inhabited by numerous Native hunter-gather groups whose identities and lifeways we are only now learning through archaeological discoveries and painstaking research into Spanish and French colonial records. From these key sources, Maria F. Wade has compiled this first comprehensive ethnohistory of the Native groups that inhabited the Texas Edwards Plateau and surrounding areas during most of the Spanish colonial era. Much of the book deals with events that took place late in the seventeenth century, when Native groups and Europeans began to have their first sustained contact in the region. Wade identifies twenty-one Native groups, including the Jumano, who inhabited the Edwards Plateau at that time. She offers evidence that the groups had sophisticated social and cultural mechanisms, including extensive information networks, ladino cultural brokers, broad-based coalitions, and individuals with dual-ethnic status. She also tracks the eastern movement of Spanish colonizers into the Edwards Plateau region, explores the relationships among Native groups and between those groups and European colonizers, and develops a timeline that places isolated events and singular individuals within broad historical processes.

Book Description
Before Terlingua achieved some notoriety as the site of the annual World Championship Chili Cookoff, the ghost town was the bustling center of the mercury mining industry in the United States. Quicksilver tells the story of the company town and its feudal lord, Chicago industrialist Howard E. Perry, who built a hilltop mansion overlooking the dry domain. Based on many primary sources, this solidly researched and historically sound book tells of profit, power, and loss; of U.S. Army protection from the effects of revolution south of the border; of Depression-era maneuverings and labor unrest; and of a region that holds growing fascination for thousands of visitors each year. Color and authenticity come from the author's interviews with such individuals as Robert Cartledge, who for nearly three decades worked as store clerk, purchasing agent, and finally general manager of the Chisos Mining Company in Terlingua.

Book Description
An incredibly detailed account of Indigenous lifeways during the initial rounds of European exploration in south-central North America. Several hundred tribes of Native Americans were living within or hunting and trading across the present-day borders of Texas when Cabeza de Vaca and his shipwrecked companions washed up on a Gulf Coast beach in 1528. Over the next two centuries, as Spanish and French expeditions explored the state, they recorded detailed information about the locations and lifeways of Texas’s Native peoples. Using recent translations of these expedition diaries and journals, along with discoveries from ongoing archaeological investigations, William C. Foster here assembles the most complete account ever published of Texas’s Native peoples during the early historic period (AD 1528 to 1722). Foster describes the historic Native peoples of Texas by geographic regions. His chronological narrative records the interactions of Native groups with European explorers and with Native trading partners across a wide network that extended into Louisiana, the Great Plains, New Mexico, and northern Mexico. Foster provides extensive ethnohistorical information about Texas’s Native peoples, as well as data on the various regions’ animals, plants, and climate. Accompanying each regional account is an annotated list of named Indigenous tribes in that region and maps that show tribal territories and European expedition routes. “A very useful encyclopedic regional account of the Europeans and Native peoples of Texas who encountered one another during the relatively unexamined two hundred years before the Spanish occupation of Texas and the French establishment of Louisiana.” —Southwestern Historical Quarterly
