Reviews

Hoig tells this story with a sharp eye for human detailssometimes gruesome but nonetheless compelling detailsthat bring Coronado, Onate, and other Spanish soldiers and priests alive in ways that I have never read. After examining Hoigs account, I will never see the Spanish entrada or conquest in the same way... Parts of this manuscript left me stunned.Durwood Ball, University of New Mexico
