Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical Documents Relating to New Mexico, Nueva Vizcaya and Approaches Thereto, to 1773, Vol. 1 In 1910 Dr. Adolph F. A. Bandelier published his Documentary History of the Rio Grande Pueblos: Bibliographic Introduction.' In this intro duction Dr. Bandelier outlined his plan for a proposed larger work con cerning the Pueblo Indians of New Mexico. In pursuance of this plan, and under a grant made by the trustees of the Carnegie Institution of Washington in October, 1911, he spent parts of the years 1912 and 1913 in research in the Archivo General in Mexico City.2 In the latter part of 1913, under the same grant continued, Dr. And Mrs. Bandelier went to Spain to search in the Archivo de Indias at Seville for further materials concerning the Pueblo Indians. At the time Dr. Bandelier was in, bad health, and his own work in those archives continued only till December 18, but under his direction Mrs. Bandelier made researches and copied documents designated by him. On March 18, 1914, Dr. Bandelier died in Seville, before he had been able to accomplish more than a minor part of the work which he had undertaken. Mrs. Bandelier, however, con tinned until the end of 1915, under the auspices of the Institution, the work of research and of copying documents in the archives. The entire collection of transcripts made both in Mexico and in Spain was then turned over by her to the Institution. The materials thus delivered consist of two distinct parts, a bound volume of about five hundred pages and a collection of unbound tran scripts amounting In all to some nine hundred pages. The bound volume contains seventy-two transcripts made by Dr. And Mrs. Bandelier in Mexico City in 1912 and 1913. About half of these, however, are copies or extracts from printed books, evidently made for subsidiary use in the future; the rest are transcripts of documents in the Archivo General in Mexico City. The nine hundred pages of unbound transcripts were all made in Seville. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
