Notes: Volume 8 of Hewett’s “Handbooks of Archaeological History” series.  Pecos, Quarai, Abo, Jemez, Acoma, Gran Quivira, and about two dozen more–after Mexico, New Mexico was arguably the epicenter of Franciscan religious conversions in Spain’s new world empire.  And we’re still living with the results.
