5.0 out of 5 stars
Very good, comprehensive history of the Sky City...,
By Michael Bellomo "mbellomo" (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Acoma: Pueblo in the Sky (Paperback)
Back in 2004, I was doing research in New Mexico for my book Microbe: Are We Ready For The Next Plague?. I decided to take a side trip to see Acoma - and what a side trip it was! Truly, one of the few times in my life where I felt like I'd stepped into another time, another world.
Minge's book has much the same effect on even the casual reader - it's easy to see why it's the only history of the Sky City sanctioned by the tribal council. Exhaustive, full of detail, and yes at the same time very readable. Some fascinating photographs and stories to pore over and ponder, especially through the arrival of the Spanish and the Americans. The book is also a tribute to the strength of the people of Acoma and their decision to keep their culture alive and to honor their heritage. A definite must-read to anyone who is interested in the rich cultural heritage of the American Southwest.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Acoma: Pueblo in the Sky,

This review is from: Acoma: Pueblo in the Sky (Paperback)
The Acoma culture is fascinating to read about and even more interesting to visit in New Mexico. Acoma Sky City in New Mexico is a beautiful and somewhat mysterious place. I wanted to find out more about the Acoma people after my visit to Sky City. This book answered a lot questions I had about this persecuted culture.
