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.
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.
From 1890, this is an important contribution to the literature of the Southwest, a fictional novel of pre-Columbian Pueblo Indians, based on the author's experiences with the Native Americans of New Mexico.
