Winner of the 2016 IPPY Silver medal for West Mountain Best Regional Fiction, the beautifully researched story takes place in 1930 after the U.S. has usurped the very remote 1598 Royal Colony of La Villa de la Santa Fe de San Francisco d'Asis, founded by a small group of conquistadores and their Franciscan Padres, who came bringing both Christ's love to the heathen and a personal quest for riches. Not finding the wealth of either Mexico or Peru, this isolated colony stayed to eke out a subsistence living for three hundred years 1500 miles from Mexico City on vast lands granted as favors from King Philip II of Spain and his successor kings. The colony, side by side with the Pueblo Indians was in frequent danger from Comanches and other marauding tribes. To protect their wealth, what they saved was buried for safekeeping either in the very walls of their adobe homes, or in the ground itself. The colony continued in isolation until the opening of the Santa Fe Trail in 1821 when later Manifest Destiny over-ran and marginalized both the native Indian and Spanish Colonial cultures, imposing crippling taxes, new laws, a new language and compulsory education. Unscrupulous land speculators brought about break-up of the huge land grants, and homesteads, slowly weakened village life. The railroad brought further destruction. By 1930, Americans, artist-refugees, and tuberculars from the polluted industrial East came to Santa Fe as a refuge, essentially turning their backs on the inventive founding Spanish, in a rush to praise the naturalness of the Indian natives and their "pure untouched" religion. Everything Indian became the fashion and the Hispanics were virtually disregarded, Faustino Garcia, a very capable young man is cash-poor, having been raised in a small wood-cutting village while his father, like many men in Santa Fe was forced to find work in another state. Our hero, an hidalgo, Don Faustino de Garcia, lacks the land and ancient encomiendas to support his inherited 16th century title; he is now a common villager. But, unlike his padres, he is literate. Still, in his noble heart, he is a son of the conquistadors, refusing to speak English or in any way to capitulate to the Americans and their pagan ways. His marriage vow in 1930, to him a sacred and moral obligation, is to restore the stripped dignity of the Spanish settlers, to recapture their legacy. The task before him is difficult, so he prays and his prayers are answered in a visitation from the Blessed Virgin herself telling him of a map to a cache of gold buried in a nearby hacienda, once owned by his ancestors. Not merely a family's stash of gold coins, Mexican silver and jewelry, the Virgin's visitation hints at more... A great treasure. For Faustino, this treasure promises the restoration of the Garcia Family's ancient lands and titles. He further wants the mountain returned to her people, and, if possible, the entire territory of New Mexico returned as the farthest stretch of Independent Mexico. Taking the map in hand, Nicasia, his wife, declares that her husband's sturdy soul is in mortal danger from the sin of greed, the handiwork of the Devil himself. "Gold brings death," she says. His two sons balk while his neighbors lay claim to the treasure as their own inheritance. Faustino must proceed in secret as the Virgin has instructed Faustino to befriend the heathen owners and to dig his treasure out from their walls. Preserving his legacy will be extremely difficult and the Americans are entrenched.

The Spanish began to settle New Mexico in the sixteenth century, and although scholars have long known the names of those settlers, this is the first book to place the colonists on the map. Using documentary, genealogical, and archaeological sources, Elinore M. Barrett depicts the settlement patterns of Spaniards in New Mexico from the beginning of colonization in 1598 up to 1680, when the Pueblo Revolt forced the colonists to retreat for a time. Barrett describes the natural environment and the Pueblo villages that the Spanish colonists encountered, as well as the activities of the Spanish civil and religious establishments related to land, labor, and tribute and the mission and mining landscapes the colonists created. She also recounts the founding and settling of Santa Fe and analyzes demographic dynamics, adding a new dimension to studies of the colonial Southwest.

In the centuries following the discovery of the Americas in 1492, representatives of the great Spanish Empire attempted to establish the thumbprint of European colonialism in the New World. Their exploits would destroy vast Indian civilizations, but with each fall, stories of other native kingdoms of greater wealth and power were told. One story pointed to the lands north of Mexico, a wasteland of scrubby deserts; sandstone mesas; forbidding, snow-capped mountains; and tens of thousands of Indians living in adobe apartments the Spanish would call pueblos. The Spanish search for the mythical cities of gold would, in time, lead to the establishment of a colony known as New Mexico. This book is the story of Santa Fe, New Mexico's colonial capital and the oldest capital city in the U.S., a territory whose enthralling physical and cultural landscapes were shaped by its Indian heritage and subsequent Spanish influence.
