This book chronicles the life and frontier career of Don Juan de O ate, the first colonizer of the old Spanish Borderlands.
In his activities he displayed qualities typical of Spain\'s sixteenth-century men of action; in his career we find a summation of the motives, aspirations, intentions, strengths, and weaknesses of the Hispanic pioneers who settled the Borderlands..
There he established the first European settlement west of the Mississippi, launching a significant chapter in early American history.
In 1598, in his late forties, O ate led a formidable expedition of settlers, with wagons and livestock, on an epic march northward to the upper Rio Grade Valley of New Mexico.
Born in Zacatecas, Mexico, in the mid-sixteenth century, Don Juan was the prominent son of an aristocratic silver-mining family.
