Tóm tắt

The Colorado River region looms large in the history of the American West, an essential part of the plans and dreams of Euro-Americans since the first century, however it must be understood first as the home of a complex Indigenous world. Through 300 years of western colonial settlement, Spaniards, Mexicans, and Americans all encountered vast Indigenous borderlands, examining the cultural geography of the Southwest the author shows how this interior world solidified to create an autonomous, inter-ethnic Indigenous space that expanded and adapted throughout the centuries before and after Spanish contact.
