John L. Kessell’s Spain in the Southwest presents a fast-paced, abundantly illustrated history of the Spanish colonies that became the states of New Mexico, Arizona, Texas, and California. With an eye for human interest, Kessell tells the story of New Spain’s vast frontier--today’s American Southwest and Mexican North--which for two centuries served as a dynamic yet disjoined periphery of the Spanish empire. Chronicling the period of Hispanic activity from the time of Columbus to Mexico’s independence from Spain in 1821, Kessell traces the three great swells of Hispanic exploration, encounter, and influence that rolled north from Mexico across the coasts and high deserts of the western borderlands. Throughout this sprawling historical landscape, Kessell treats grand themes through the lives of individuals. He explains the frequent cultural clashes and accommodations in remarkably balanced terms. Stereotypes, the author writes, are of no help. Indians could be arrogant and brutal, Spaniards caring, and vice versa. If we select the facts to fit preconceived notions, we can make the story come out the way we want, but if the peoples of the colonial Southwest are seen as they really were--more alike than diverse, sharing similar inconstant natures--then we need have no favorites.

Excerpt from The Spanish in the Southwest From the simplicity of the Indians, through the biographies of gold-seeking Spaniards and the indolence of the Spanish occupation, to the complexities of the constitutional era, runs this writing. To have been purely historical by omitting the story element would have taken the work out of the realm of the children for whom it is intended; to have presented only incidents and biographies would have destroyed historical values. So the book is indeed a story of history, a collection of stories selected and arranged to present historical characteristics and tendencies of periods. Believing that to some extent the form of narration should follow the psychological development of the subject treated, the manner of telling the story has been steadily adapted to meet conditions. Simple and childlike when writing of the Indians; biographical in the early days before the efforts of an individual were reckoned into the sum of activities; thoughtful and reasoning in the difficulties of the contact with foreigners. If the children of the Pacific slope read and enjoy, finding in and between the lines an uprising of love and respect for their glorious country, and of determined loyalty in the protection of its honor and morality, this little book will have fulfilled its mission.
