Fray Alonso de Benavides's History of New Mexico, 1630
Ratings1
Average rating3
This is an interesting glimpse in to the way someone in this time self described what was happening in New Mexico. There are clearly issues of unreliable narration but those reveal biases and give insight of their own in to the way the Spanish thought about the various native tribes of the area, the landscape, and their role in inserting themselves.
The reader of the audio version is not great, very monotone and has weird pronunciations of local place names.
