Historia De LA Nueva Mexico, 1610 A Critical and Annotated

One of the first travel journals of its kind to be published, this epic poem about Juan de Oñate's entrada that led to the founding of Nueva México in 1598 (to become the state of New Mexico 314 years later) is full of the hopes and dreams of those who travelled with Oñate. Historia de la Nueva México, 1610 was written fourteen years before John Smith's History of Virginia. Its thirty-four cantos have long been considered a key source for early New Mexico history and this bilingual Spanish/English version presents it as literature. By situating 'Historia de la Nueva México, 1610' within the Hispanic literary heritage, the work is restored to the canon of American literature.de Villagra, Gaspar Perez is the author of 'Historia De LA Nueva Mexico, 1610 A Critical and Annotated', published 2004 under ISBN 9780826313928 and ISBN 0826313922.
