Status Updates From The Pueblo Revolt: The Secr...

Really enjoying this authors writing style. He’s narrating his visit to the ruins and adding info he’s learned from others along the way. Easier to read than I expected.

The authors thoughts on modern pueblos sometimes feels a bit intruding. He clearly wishes they were more forthcoming in the divulging of information. Past that though, the tales of the first entradas and Oñate’s expedition are great reads. I feel somewhat inclined to learn more about the expeditions, since there is a lot of interesting details skipped for brevity.

To my fans:

I picked this book up while traversing the many shops Santa Fe has to offer. As a highly educated, and intelligent individual, I thought I would read this book to tickle my understanding of the Pueblos in New Mexico and the story leading up to their revolt. So far, the book is quite excellent and has lots of big words 👍

The book sets out to understand the Pueblo Revolt but instead the author spends 200+ pages complaining that the Pueblo people won’t give up their closely held oral traditions to a random academic that did a hike and went to a Pueblo visitors center a few times.
