History with the Verve of a Novel,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Last Conquistador: Juan de Onate and the Settling of the Far Southwest (Oklahoma Western Biographies) (Paperback)
Marc Simmons does an excellent job of telling a story. I have endured novels that were much less engaging and well told. Simmons brings immediacy and life to events that occurred four hundred years ago. I wish he had written the history texts I was compelled to read in high school.

The real Onate,
By Mount Dolphx (Southwest, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Last Conquistador: Juan de Onate and the Settling of the Far Southwest (Oklahoma Western Biographies) (Paperback)
Many have made their views of Onate and opinions clear here around New Mexico, but few have ever made even a slight reference to the men around Onate ... the time Onate lived in, but alas, Marc Simmons has a captivating impartial review of the infamous Onate.

History like a well told story,
By El Picaro "Lion of New Spain" (Colorado, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Last Conquistador: Juan de Onate and the Settling of the Far Southwest (Oklahoma Western Biographies) (Paperback)
Marc Simmons can always be relied upon for giving acurate information in a compelling package. If you do not know the story of New Mexico's quasi feudal founding by Spanish Conqustidors in armor both the good and bad then you must buy this book quickly and correct your educational deficiency.
