The Pueblo Revolt: The Secret Rebellion that Drove the Spaniards Out of the Southwest by David Roberts

The Pueblo Revolt: The Secret Rebellion that Drove the Spaniards Out of the Southwest by David Roberts. This is a history of the 1680 guerrilla campaign against the Spanish settlers of modern New Mexico. Roberts criticizes earlier historical work as being biased in favor of the Spanish he quite unashamedly says that he is writing an account from the perspective of the Pueblo. Unfortunately the Pueblo apparently don't want the story told and do what they can to thwart his efforts. Half the book is taken up with his various attempts to get information very few of which actually succeed. What he does get is oral history. Spanish records are constantly criticized for being biased however apparently oral history isn't? Reference is made to archaeological sites. He had some differing interpretations than experts I don't know enough about the topic to comment on how reasonable they are.
