His goal was to persuade the Osages, Kansas, Pawnees, and other French trading partners to keep peace with each other and with the Apaches to their west. This ambitious effort to pacify Indians, like later Amer- ican efforts to do the same, was not a humanitarian ges- ture. French, Spanish, British, and American authorities all incited tribes to make war when it served their national in- terests, but peace often was preferable because it allowed traders and officials to move safely and profitably from camp to camp and reach remote groups such as the Apach- es. When Bourgmont met with the Kansa tribe in July 1724 he urged them to deal peacefully with the Osages and Pedro de Villasur with a force of more than one hundred other Indians accompanying him. “If you quarrel with the Spanish soldiers and Pueblo Indian allies to Pawnee coun- other nations who have come with me,” he told them, 3 try to deal with the presumed French threat. “you will also always quarrel with me.” Bourgmont pre- Villasur’s expedition was not the first Spanish venture vailed on the Kansas to surrender Apache captives and across the Plains.

    Federalists and Republicans 1789–1816 Why It Matters In the first government under the Constitution, important new institutions included the cabinet, a system of federal courts, and a national bank. Political parties gradually developed from the different views of citizens in the Northeast, West, and South. The new government faced special challenges in foreign affairs, including the War of 1812 with Great Britain. The Impact Today During this period, fundamental policies of American government came into being. • Politicians set important precedents for the national government and for relations between the federal and state governments. For example, the idea of a presidential cabinet originated with George Washington and has been followed by every president since that time • President Washington’s caution against foreign involvement powerfully influenced American foreign policy.

    THE COLORADO MAGAZINE Published by The State Historical and Natural History Society of Colorado Devoted to the Interests of the Society, Colorado, and the West Copyrighted 1924 by the State Historical and Natural History Society of Colorado. VOL. Denver, Colorado, November, 1924 NO. 7 Spanish Expeditions Into Colorado:f. By Alfred Barnaby Thomas, M. A., Berkeley, California. I. INTRODUCTION We customarily associate Spanish explorations in the West with New Mexico, with Texas, with Arizona, or with California, but not with Colorado. Yet Spaniards in the eighteenth century were well acquainted with large portions of the region now com­ prised in that state. Local historians of Colorado often err by pushing the clock too far back, and asserting that Coronado, Oriate, and other sixteenth century conquistadores entered the state. On the other hand, they fail to mention several important expeditions which at a later date did enter the confines of the state. An Outpost of New Mexico.-The Colorado region in Span­ ish days was a frontier of New Mexico. Santa Fe was the base for Colorado as San Agustin was for Georgia. Three interests especially spurred the New Mexicans to make long journeys northward to the Platte River, to the upper Arkansas in central Colorado, and to the Dolores, Uncomphagre, Gunnison, and Grand Rivers on the western borders. These interests were Indians, French intruders, and rumored mines. After 1673 reports of Frenchmen in the Pawnee country constantly worried officials at Santa Fe. Frequently tales of gold and sil'ver were wafted southward to sensitive Spanish ears at the New Mexico capital.

We continue to feature books and ephemera from the American West but you’ll also find numerous pages of Americana, Travel and Photographic material along with Explora- tion, Mining and Native Americana. We’ve also picked up small collections of Poetry and Art Books which have been fun to catalogue. Perhaps my favorite genre of Catalogue #19 are the 21 Promotional items from western states and communities. These colorful pamphlets, mostly from the early 20th century, would make any Chamber of Commerce proud. It’s always interesting to see what items sell quickly in each catalogue. I of- ten guess wrong so I’ll leave the decisions up to you. Several items of note, however, include: The best association copy known of Cormac McCarthy’s Blood Meridian--inscribed to Edward Abbey, a beautifully bright advertising poster for the ‘Field Self Discharging Rake’, a scarce promotional for the Salt River Valley of Arizona, a full-plate tintype from Volcano, California, and six large format albumen photographs depicting archaeological sites of Arizona and New Mexico by John K. Hillers. I’m also taken with the striking and rare Broadside for the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad, the very clean re- view copy of Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring and the atlas from the Pike Expe- dition published in 1810.

    Federalists and Republicans 1789–1820 Why It Matters In the nation’s new constitutional government, important new institutions included the cabinet, a system of federal courts, and a national bank. Political parties gradually developed from the different views of citizens in the Northeast, South, and West. The new government faced special challenges in foreign affairs, including the War of 1812 with Great Britain. After the war, a spirit of nationalism took hold in American society. A new national bank was chartered, and Supreme Court decisions strengthened the power of the federal government. The Impact Today Policies and attitudes that developed at this time have helped shape the nation. • Important precedents were set for the relations between the federal and state governments. • Washington’s caution against foreign involvement has powerfully influenced American foreign policy. • Many Americans have a strong sense of national loyalty.

    1 Visualizing Equestrianism’s Violent Influences upon Eighteenth-century Native North America: Revisiting the Segesser Hide Paintings Ned Blackhawk History and American Studies Yale University Working Draft: Please do not cite without permission Readers unfamiliar with the images in question may be interested in the documentary linked below at: http://wn.com/MOMENTS_IN_TIME_%7C_New_Mexico's_Segesser_Hide_Paintings_ %7C_KNME Efforts to revise the temporal and spatial parameters of American history have cast asunder the field’s normative beginnings. Indeed, not long ago, according to one recent assessment, “early America history looked almost nothing like it looks today. The cast of characters was small—mostly English and mostly male—and early America was nearly synonymous with the thirteen colonies. The French, Spanish, and Dutch colonial empires were there in the picture, but mainly as a hazy backdrop of hostility: they were threats to the English America that alone led the continent to its distinctive path to modernity.”1 American Indian historians have figured prominently in such revision. In the past two decades, the fields of U.S. western, American Indian, and Spanish borderlands history have increasingly embraced one another and ushered in a “continentalist” paradigm for assessing U.S. “colonial” history. Nowhere is such realignment more pronounced than in studies of the Trans-Mississippi West before Anglo-American 1 Pekka Hämäläinen, “Greater Than the Sum of Its Parts?

Gutiérrez’s detailed analyses of gender relations within colonial New Mexico to Pekka Hämäläinen’s periodizaiton of the rise and fall of Comanche equestrianism, the history of the early American West has been fundamentally rewritten.

  • Promise Beheld and the Limits of Place
    Promise Beheld and the Limits of Place A Historic Resource Study of Carlsbad Caverns and Guadalupe Mountains National Parks and the Surrounding Areas By Hal K. Rothman Daniel Holder, Research Associate National Park Service, Southwest Regional Office Series Number Acknowledgments This book would not be possible without the full cooperation of the men and women working for the National Park Service, starting with the superintendents of the two parks, Frank Deckert at Carlsbad Caverns National Park and Larry Henderson at Guadalupe Mountains National Park. One of the true joys of writing about the park system is meeting the professionals who interpret, protect and preserve the nation’s treasures. Just as important are the librarians, archivists and researchers who assisted us at libraries in several states. There are too many to mention individuals, so all we can say is thank you to all those people who guided us through the catalogs, pulled books and documents for us, and filed them back away after we left. One individual who deserves special mention is Jed Howard of Carlsbad, who provided local insight into the area’s national parks. Through his position with the Southeastern New Mexico Historical Society, he supplied many of the photographs in this book. We sincerely appreciate all of his help. And finally, this book is the product of many sacrifices on the part of our families. This book is dedicated to LauraLee and Lucille, who gave us the time to write it, and Talia, Brent, and Megan, who provide the reasons for writing. Hal Rothman Dan Holder September 1998 i Executive Summary Located on the great Permian Uplift, the Guadalupe Mountains and Carlsbad Caverns national parks area is rich in prehistory and history.
