This was my second reading of this book ("The Pueblo Revolt: The Secret Rebellion that Drove the Spaniards Out of the Southwest" -- it's incomplete in the GR heading), so clearly Roberts's work made an impression on me those 10 to 15 years ago upon my first reading.
"The history we know and read wasn't written by the Jemez. It was written by an invading army. There's a lot we don't know. I think that's sort of cool. There should be some mystery." -- Archaeologist Michael Elliott.
Roberts is not Native and he incorporated as much respect, humility, and Native perspective as he could about the Pueblo Revolt and aftermath. I appreciate what he put together, in spite of his ongoing comments that no one would tell him anything. I also am noticing that if you stop for a second and listen, then Native and African American and Latino and Asian and immigrant writers *will* tell you their stories (eg, look over my reading history).
