Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: History like a well told story Comment: 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. Customer Rating: Summary: History with the Verve of a Novel Comment: 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. Customer Rating: Summary: The real Onate Comment: 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.
