A long-awaited work by our good friend Samuel Temkin, Ph.D, Professor Emeritus, Rutgers University. Although he is an engineer originally from Mexico City he was raised in Monterrey, the geographical center of this saga. The story of Luis de Carvajal captivated his interest along with the history of New Spain in the 16th Century. In 1579 Carvajal, A Portuguese, was awarded a large territory in New Spain by Philip II, which extended into parts of Texas and New Mexico. He discovered, conquered, and settled most of the area bringing settlers many of whom were of Jewish descent. Some of them, including Carvajal's family, were tried by the Inquisition for practicing their faith. A very comprehensive scholarly work, but highly readable for the popular audience. Illustrated with figures, maps and tables and pictorial cover. Santa Fe, NM, 2011 Sunstone Press 1st Ed., 6 x 9, 249 Pgs., HB.

Malintzin was the indigenous woman who translated for Hernan Cortés in his dealings with Aztec emperor Moctezuma from 1519-1521. The Spaniards called her doña Marina, but has become known to posterity as la Malinche. As Malinche she was long regarded a traitor to her people, a dangerous, sexy, sceheming woman who facilitated the conquest of Mexico. In truth her life was more complicated having been sold into slavery as a child,and subsequently given to the Spaniards as a concubine and cook. She was, in fact, a courageous, brave and resourceful person and gets a bad rap from the Mexican people as does Cortés himself. Doña Marina should be held in as high regard in Mexico as is Pocahontas in the United States. Illustrated. Albuquerque, 2006 University of New Mexico Press 1st Ed., 6 x 9, 287 Pgs., HB.

Catherine (1485-1836) was the youngest child of the legendary monarchs of Spain, Ferdinand and Isabel, destined to marry for dynastic gain. Catherine was first married to Henry VII of England but he died weeks after their marriage in 1501. She then married his brother who became Henry VIII and their union would change England and Europe forever. Her marraige to Henry lasted twice as long as his five other marriages. Her refusal to divorce him led to the Henrys break with the Catholic Church. At Flodden, Catherine led the English forces to victory against Scotland in Henry's absence. Their daughter Mary would later rule England back to Catholicism in a brief bloody reign.Catherine was a strong-willed woman charateristic of her mother and her determination to remain queen led to her last years in almost monastic isolation.

This latest narrative about the Alamo is almost sure to cause consternation among traditional aficionados of the fight for Texas liberty. However, using documented sources for both the Texan and Mexican side, the author makes some very revealing conclusions. The final fight for the Alamo was not in brilliant sunlight but a pre-dawn attack forcing a wild melee from surprised defenders. Most of the defenders died in breakouts from the fort, men choosing to fight another day, but intercepted and all killed by Mexican General Sesma's lancers. Tucker recounts the prelude history and notes that the defenders were not soldiers but clerks and merchants even abandoned by Sam Houston and investors who sought the "liberty" of establishing a cotton empire with slavery. Santa Anna was an abolitionist and slavery was prohibited under the Mexican constitution at the time. A thought-provoking work. Illustrated.
