Washington, D.C: Smithsonian Institution Press, 1990. Revised Edition. Trade Paperback. Very Good. 6x1x9. Revised edition with new index. Small smudge on fore edge, a couple pages dog-eared. 1990 Trade Paperback. xii, 366 pp. Includes black-and-white reproductions of maps, illustrations, and photographs. This volume mines the Pardo documents to reveal a wealth of information pertaining to Pardo's routes, his encounters and interactions with native peoples, the social, hierarchical, and political structures of the Indians, and clues to the ethnic identities of Indians known previously only through archaeology. The new afterword reveals recent archaeological evidence of Pardo's Fort San Juan--the earliest site of sustained interaction between Europeans and Indians--demonstrating the accuracy of Hudsonâs route reconstructions.
