By the 1530s, Indigenous Pueblo populations in the American Southwest reached tens of thousands of people with a rich culture expressed through stunning architecture, ceramic technology, and ceremonial life. Then, into that world came outsidersan army from Spain?s new colony in Mexico led by Francisco Vzquez de Coronado. First contacts at the western Pueblos of Zuni, Hopi, and Acoma led to open warfare.By the winter of 1540, increasing tensions and resistance spilled over into violence in America?s earliest named war, the Tiguex War, which occurred in an area settled by ancestors of today?s Rio Grande Pueblos. The largest and most intact battle site of that fierce conflict is known as Piedras Marcadas Pueblo, situated within presentday Albuquerque, New Mexico. Fighting back against Coronado?s crossbows and muskets with stonetipped arrows and slingstones, the Puebloans mounted a courageous defense of their largest village, piling rocks on rooftops and hurling them down at attackers. Hundreds of artifacts found at Piedras Marcadas reveal the lifeanddeath contest for survival that occurred within those ancient walls and plazas.

I really enjoyed reading this book. It dives deep into Coronado's expedition and sheds light on America's first war contact, which isn’t something you see covered often. The detailed accounts and analysis made it a real page-turner for anyone interested in history!

Great content but a bit dense
The information in this book is impressive, but I found some parts pretty dense. It’s clear the author did heavy research, but I had to reread sections to grasp the details fully. Still, the exploration of the Rio Grande adds a unique perspective!

Engaging but a few slow parts
I appreciated the insights into the conflict and Coronado's journey, though some chapters dragged a bit. Overall, it's an engaging historical account that I’d recommend for history buffs. Just be prepared for some lengthy sections!

Interesting but not what I expected
This book had some cool historical insights, but I was hoping for more adventure and less academic tone. It feels like a mix of a textbook with a narrative, which isn't what I signed up for. Still, it’s informative!

A must-read for history lovers
If you're into the history of early America, this book is a treasure. The way it covers Coronado's expedition is enlightening and the context around the conflict is well presented. It’s definitely worth your time if you love exploring our past!
