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.

The history of California and the United States might have been altered dramatically if on July 17, 1781, the quiet dawn had not been rent by the screams of hundreds of painted Mojave warriors, brandishing lances, bows and war clubs, as they attacked the Spanish garrison at Yuma Crossing. The Indians killed every Spaniard they could find. The route from Upper Sonora deserts to the Colorado River, called the Camino del Diablo, was the only way for Spaniards to transport goods overland to California settlements. At the point where the Gila River ran into the Colorado lay the only passable crossing. The Quechuans, who lived there originally welcomed the Spaniards in peace. Their later revolt ended Spanish settlements in the area, dashed the dreams of the mission builders, and limited expansion to California. Tucson, 1998, 1st Ed. 220 Pgs. HB.
