Notes: Volume 232 in the Civilization of the American Indian series. “….the native peoples of the southern plains and its periphery–northern Mexico, New Mexico, and eastern Texas. It explores the shifting fortunes of Indian social, political, and economic development, changes accelerated by demographic alterations and the Spanish advance…Spanish invasion, warfare, and demographic pressures often caused tribal decline at the same time that it forced natives living in smaller groups to seek more elaborate social and political order…The Comanche people would prove to be the masters of ethnogenesis and by 1780 would create the most powerful native society in the Southwest.” (From the Introduction)
