What reading level is Documentary History of the Rio Grande Pueblos of New Mexico; I. Bibliographic Introduction book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is a book without which thestudy of the Pueblo Indians could not be satisfactory.
Where there is strong light there must of necessity be some shadow. Inthe case of Benavides the shadow is found in the exaggerated number ofinhabitants attributed to the New Mexican Pueblos, exaggerations asgross and as glaring as those of Espejo. The number of villages of someof the Pueblo groups is also somewhat suspicious. It is not difficult toexplain these probably intentional deviations from the truth in ...anotherwise sincere and highly valuable work. As already indicated, thepublications emanating from the Franciscan Order, which exclusivelycontrolled the New Mexican missions, had a special purpose distinct fromthat of mere information: they were designed to promote a propaganda notsimply for the conversion of the Indians in general, but especially forthe conversions made or to be made by the Order. New Mexico was in astate of neglect, spiritually and politically; the political authoritieshad been denouncing the Franciscans in every possible way, and there wasdanger, if this critical condition continued, that the Order might loseits hold upon the northern territories and its mission be turned over tothe Jesuits, who were then successfully at work in the Mexican northwestand approaching New Mexico from that direction.
