Description
Excerpt from Early Discoveries by Spaniards in New Mexico: Containing an Account of the Castles of Cibola, and the Present Appearance of Their Ruins
I have freely used the work of Mr. Bartlett, the Commissioner of the United States for running the boundary line. Although but an incidental subject of observation, and apart from the important duties assigned him, he has given the most satisfactory account of the ruins, as they are to be seen at this time. His work is full of profound observations, on all impor tant subjects connected with that country, but which still remains to be fully explored. Mr. Bartlett agrees with me with respect to the supposed migrations from the Gila to the valley of Anahuac. When he wrote, how ever, he did not appear to be aware of the existence of the work of Casta neda, who accompanied Coronado, and described the castles of Cibola as then occupied, which Mr. Bartlett has so well delineated in their ruined state.
