Abstract
New Mexico is a century older in European civilization, and several centuries older in a semicivilization of its own, than any other part of the United States. It had its walled cities of stone long before the time of Columbus, and has some of them yet. Romantic as it is in itself, with its vast adobe buildings, its abrupt mountains, its canyons, its mesas, its gaunt, treeless plains, its intense blue sky, and over all its oriental sunlight, it is no less romantic in its history of the Spanish conquest, recording superhuman marches of the soldiers, sudden and overwhelming rebellions of the natives, awful privations, devoted heroism and martyrdom of its missionaries, the Franciscans.
