BORDER COMANCHES-SEVEN SPANISH COLONIAL DOCUMENTS 1785-1819; translated, edited, and with an introduction by Marc Simmons, hardcover with dj, 1st edition, 1967. “Only one edition of this book has been printed, and the type melted. The edition is limited to 400 copies.” Book condition: Near fine. The text block is in fine condition with no tears, marks, or dog ears. Not a library book nor a remainder. No bookplate. Signature of previous owner is written in ink inside the front cover. The red cloth cover is in fine condition. The dust jacket is in near fine condition [a tiny notation on the first inner flap]. XX [From the flaps of the dust jacket] A remarkable series of Spanish letters and reports on the early Comanches, found in old Mexican archives and here published for the first time.

In this era they were invincible against other tribes, and the Spaniards found they honored all treaties—becoming valuable allies. Here are three reports by Pedro de Nava and one each by Jacobo Ugarte y Loyola, Fernando de la Concha, Joaquin Real Alencaster, and Alexo Garcia Conde, from the provinces of New and Texas. XX (ABOUT THE EDITOR) Dr. Marc Simmons has become—in a few years—one of New Mexico's recognized experts in the study of old Spanish documents relating to the Southwest. The reports and letters in this book were discovered by him while searching in the archives for material to be used in a later, comprehensive work on the Comanches.
