The North Mexican Frontier: Readings in Archaeology, Ethnohistory, and Ethnography

This collection of thirteen research papers from difficult to obtain and out-of-print journals and books brings together classics of the earliest systematical archaeology done in the area north and west of Mexico. The earliest paper included is a 1645description of the great ruin of La Quemada, or Tuitlan, the latest is from 1959, but most of the papers are from the first part of this century. All the Spanish papers have been translated, and the texts have been edited and completely reset in modern format.

Genealogical Read

I was thrilled to find this book in such great shape used! I have yet to read through all of it. It talks of The Chicimecs, Tepecanos, Guachichil, Guamar, etc. It gives insight into their ways of living.
