Description
Excerpt from The American Archaeologist, Vol. 2: Columbus, Ohio, January, 1898
Abo was a typical Pueblo town, or three - story communal agglomeration of cells for human dwellings, over 200 feet square; now but a quadrangular line of irregular mounds; with a smaller square of the same kind near by. A few rods north of these long forgotten habitations are two walls of stone masonry, forty-two feet apart, one hundred and fifteen long, twelve feet thick at the base, and sixty feet in height, the majestic ruins of another grand Catholic church erected early in the 17th century. At Quarai, the third point of the triangle, are to be seen the ruins of a still larger edifice, erected about the same time by the pious missionary Friars, having a ?oor area of 5020 feet; but is more dilapidated than either of the others.
