lly and flavorsome; the Californias. OP. BOLTON, HERBERT E. _Spanish Exploration in the Southwest_, 1916. The cream of explorer narratives, well edited. _Coronado on the Turquoise Trail_ (originally published in New York, 1949, under the title _Coronado: Knight of Pueblos and Plains_; now issued by University of New Mexico Press, Albuquerque). By his own work and by directing other scholars, Dr. Bolton has surpassed all other American historians of his time in output on Spanish-American history. _Coronado_ is the climax of his many volumes. Its fault is being too worshipful of everything Spanish and too uncritical. A little essay on Coronado in Haniel Long's _Pinon Country_ goes a good way to put this belegended figure into proper perspective. BRENNER, ANITA. _Idols Behind Altars_, 1929. OP. The pagan worship that endures among Mexican Indians. _The Wind that Swept Mexico: The History of the Mexican Revolution, 1910-1942_, 1943, OP. _Your Mexican Holiday_, revised 1947. No writer on modern Mexico has a clearer eye or clearer intellect than Anita Brenner; she maintains good humor in her realism and never lapses into phony romance. CABEZA DE VACA'S _Narrative_. Any translation procurable. One is included in _Spanish Explorers in the Southern United States_, edited by F. W. Hodge and T. H. Lewis, now published by Barnes & Noble, New York. The most dramatic and important aftermath of Cabeza de Vaca's twisted walk across the continent was Coronado's search for the Seven Cities of Cibola. Coronado's precursor was Fray Marcos de Niza. _The Journey of Fray Marcos de Niza_, by Cleve Hallenbeck, with illustrations and decorations by Jose Cisneros, is one of the most beautiful books in format published in America. It was designed and printed by Carl Hertzog of El Paso, printer without peer between the Atlantic and the Pacific, and is issued by Southern Methodist University Press, Dallas. CASTANEDA'S narrative of Coronado's expedition. Winship's translation is preferred. It is included in _Spanish Explorers in the Southern United States_, cited above. CATHER, WILLA. _Death Comes for the Archbishop_, Knopf, New York, 1927. Classical historical fiction on New Mexico. CUMBERLAND, CHARLES C. _Mexican Revolution: Genesis under Madero_, University of Texas Press, Austin, 1952. Bibliography. To know Mexico and Mexicans without knowing anything about Mexican revolutions is like knowing the United States in ignorance of fronti
