Description: Kiva Cross & Crown: The Pecos Indians and New Mexico 1540-1840. Kessell John L. Albuquerque: University of New Mexico Press, 1987. Trade paperback. 587 pages, indexed. This is a 1987 University of New Mexico Press reprint of the National Park Service book released in 1979. Included is a Preface to the Second Edition. Pecos Pueblo, once one of the largest and most powerful of the Pueblo city-states, lay at the crossroads of Indian trading routes, Spanish expeditions, and the Santa Fe Trail. In this account, the history of people and events at Pecos comes alive in an engaging narrative based on a meticulous study of original sources. Summarizing the prehistory of the Pueblo, Kessell concentrates on the period of Spanish domination of the community known to Europeans as Cicuye. He details the attempts of Franciscan missionaries to convert the Pueblo peoples of the Kiva; the competition for tribute, labor, and land by colonists and officers of the crown; the role-of Pecos in the Pueblo Revolt of 1680; and the decline and destitution of the area due to internal dissension, disease, and hostile raiders.
