4.0 out of 5 stars Genealogy of the settlers of Coahuila and Nuevo Leon in the, June 6, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: With All Arms a Study of a Kindred Group (Hardcover)

Carl Laurence Duaine provides an excellent insight into the historical background of the first settlers of the nothern provinces of Coahuila and Nuevo Leon (northern New Spain late 1500s and early 1600s). Duaine describes the fate of the first settlers of Nuevo Leon who came with Luis de Carvajal y de la Cueva to Nuevo Leon from their origins in Spain or Portugal to Nuevo Leon. His detail listing of names make this remarkable book an excellent source for genealogy research. Mr. Duaine could have listed his sources for his research. However, the reader can use the aouthor's research and statments to dig further into the history and genealogy of the men and women of the northern frontier of New Spain who are the ancestors of many Hispanics who traced their roots to Texas and northern Mexico.

This is a very well written source for those interested in both history and genealogy. The index of names and various charts are a gold mine for genealogists!

I am a fan of Gary Jenning's "AZTEC" and reading Carl's book helped me to understand my families place in the conquest and settlement of northeastern Mexico. The American schools of my youth did not teach us about our "hispanic" heritage and by reading this book and many other local history books, I have a better understanding of the history of my relatives. "With All Arms" helped me to tie in to the painstaking research Mr Duaine conducted in the creation of this historical gem.
