Notes: The presidio was a fortified Spanish military garrison. Moorhead examines the presidios in the Spanish provinces of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and the Mexican states of Coahuila, Chihuahua, Durango, Sonora, and Sinaloa. Santa Fe, Tucson, and San Antonio were three presidios. Part I follows the historical development of the presidio, Part II looks at the forms and functions of the presidio (the fort itself, the soldiers, their payroll, the settlements and the Indian reservations). Moorhead was the editor of Gregg’s Commerce of the Prairies. A hardcover copy of this volume is also available.
