A stirring record of the revolt of the Pueblo Indians against the Spaniards' Rio Grande empire in 1680, REVOLT ALONG THE RIO GRANDE brings historical perspective and understanding to the story of the revolt and the reasons for it. In eight vivid episodes spanning the years 1539-1691, the disastrous story of gold seeker, Indian, and priest is told. One hundred fifty years of misunderstanding, brutality, war, and gold fever are portrayed before your eyes in all of their ex-citement, tragedy, triumph, and de-spair. Brutally cheated and ruthlessly exploited by the white man in search of gold, the Indian is treated with kindness, care, and concern by the priest. Each tale dramatically reiterates the lack of communication and understanding between all of them. Though the time and characters change with each episode, the conflict remains, and, finally, the Indian revolts. The irony of history is not kind to the Indian. When "The Revolt Comes Full Circle" in 1691 his situation is little changed. The white man never finds the gold for which he is searching, and the Indian never ceases to be harshly treated. A dynamic interpretation of a fascinating period in Southwestern history, REVOLT ALONG THE RIO GRANDE presents an ex-citing, stimulating, and impressive adventure for the pleasure reader and student of history
