Book
Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. Book is clean with a square, tight binding and bright, white pages. Book has minor wear on the edges that is difficult to see in the scans. This book includes a trail guide that is in a pocket inside the back cover. La Vereda: a Trail through Time takes us on an expedition into the mountains and sageland spaces of northern New Mexico and the San Luis Valley of southern Colorado. The field Journal for Governor General Don Diego de Vargas* 1694 "entrada al norte" into the land of unfriendly pueblos to obtain corn for his beleaguered colonists in Santa Fe serves as our guide. In 1962 a chance reading of an article by New Mexico historian J. Manuel Espinosa in the Colorado Magazine sparked the desire to find and photograph where Don Diego de Vargas had marched in his entrada to Taos and, unexpectedly, even farther north into the "land of the Yutas of the southern San Luis Valley. The Espinosa article included enough landmarks and league distances to offer hope of finding and photographing where Don Diego and his Royal Army had forded the Rio Grande del Norte on July 10, 1694. A seventy-mile drive south from my home along the upper Rio Grande west of Del Norte, Colorado, with Victoria Smith, first of many companions of the trail, took us to the channel of the Rio Grande between counties Conejos and Costilla in the southern San Luis Valley. Two fishermen directed us to a fishermen's road along the east side of the river. By traveling the "said leagues" (about five miles) below the mouth of the Culebra, we came upon a curve of the Great River and an island, exactly as noted in de Vargas' Journal. That day, the site of the ancient ford used by de Vargas and his Royal Army was located and photographed. The success in fitting an historical event to an under-the-sun location in uninhabited, primal land caused a fever which has burned through three decades of trail tracing in the borderland plains, canyons, and mountains of southern Colorado and northern New Mexico. The hunt with out-of-doors searching of the second half of the expedition's trail and campsites ranged throughout the land west of the Rio Grande and its 80-mile long gorge. In so much space I was at first indifferent to the trail's beginning in another state on the east side of the Rio Grande Gorge. Unknown to me, someone else in Taos, N.M. was exploring the arroyos and mountains between Santa Fe and Taos for the trail used during the first half of the 1694 expedition.
