Adolph Bandelier's Books

The story of Fray Marcos and the Seven Cities of Cíbola was a favorite of Adolph Bandelier (1840–1914). Bandelier’s combination of methodological sophistication and control of the archival data makes the Marcos de Niza paper important, not only as a landmark in Southwestern ethnohistory, but as a work of scholarship in its own rights, with insights on Cabeza de Vaca, Marcos, and early Southwestern exploration that are still valid today.

Adolph Bandelier was a pioneer explorer and anthropologist of the American Southwest. He is immortalizd through the naming of one of the nation's lesser-known but most glorious treasures, Bandelier National Monument near Santa Fé, New Mexico. It features spectacular pre-European cave dwellings and natural volcanic features in a high desert setting. The Delight Makers is a remarkable novel grounded in Bandelier's deep personal know-ledge of the region and its native inhabitants.

Embark on a captivating journey to the ancient civilizations of the American Southwest with Adolph Francis Alphonse Bandelier in 'The Delight Makers.' Written in the late 19th century, this historical novel invites readers to explore the rich tapestry of Native American cultures and the landscapes of New Mexico. Bandelier weaves a narrative set against the backdrop of the pre-Columbian Pueblo societies, providing a fictional yet vivid portrayal of their customs, rituals, and daily life. Through meticulous research and evocative storytelling, 'The Delight Makers' immerses readers in a world where ancient traditions collide with the forces of change. More than a work of historical fiction, Bandelier's novel stands as a tribute to the indigenous peoples of the American Southwest. Join him on this literary expedition where each page unfolds a new chapter of discovery, making it an essential read for those intrigued by the intersection of history, culture, and the enduring spirit of Native American civilizations.
