Summary
The first settlement of Europeans in the New World was not that of the Pilgrims, nor was it in the East. Twenty years before the Pilgrims, Spanish settlers established the colony of New Spain (which is now New Mexico) in… the North American Southwest. The author vividly recreates life in the mid-1700s in one early Spanish settlement--El Rancho de las Golondrinas.For grades 5-8 and older readers. 1989
