Description:
Santa Fe: The Rydal Press, 1939. First Edition. With 8 double-page black and white illustrations from original lithographs and elaborate chapter heading initials in colour by Peter Hurd. 8vo, publisher’s original beige cloth, with black lettering on the spine and upper cover, and in the dustjacket. 101 pp. A fine copy. FIRST EDITION. The story of Juan de Ońate, soldier millionaire, grandee, coming up from Old Mexico in 1598 who came first to the land of the Pueblos. He fought the battles of politeness with jealous vice-regal courtiers. He learned how to treat shrewdly with hostile Indians. The Acomas were absent his awareness, and the tribe became an enemy. The battle of Acoma, strange and picturesque resulted. This is a narrative, romantic in nature of the battle of Acoma. Hogan called it The Habit of Empire--"...old means served man's timeless end--the repetition of his faith and pattern of life wherein he went as the stronger of his kind.
