{"product_id":"the-pueblo-revolt-9780803292277","title":"The Pueblo Revolt","description":"The peaceable Pueblo Indians seemed an unlikely people to rise emphatically and successfully against the Spanish Empire. For eighty-two years the Pueblos had lived under Spanish domination in the northern part of present-day New Mexico. The Spanish administration had been led not by Coronado's earlier vision of god but by a desire to convert the Indians to Christianity and eke a living from the country north of Mexico. The situation made conflict inevitable, with devastating results. \u003cp\u003eRobert Silverberg writes: While the missionaries flogged and even hanged the Indians to save their souls, the civil authorities enslaved them, plundered the wealth of their cornfields, forced them to abide by incomprehensible Spanish laws. A long drought beginning in the 1660s and the accelerated raids of nomadic tribes contributed to the spontaneous revolt to the Pueblos in August 1680.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow the Pueblos maintained their independence for a dozen years in plain view of the ambitious Spaniards and how they finally expelled the Spanish is the exciting story of \u003ci\u003eThe Pueblo Revolt\u003c\/i\u003e. Robert Silverberg's descriptions yield a rich picture of the Pueblo culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bison Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/1994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780803292277\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 218\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.99h x 5.37w x 0.55d","brand":"Robert Silverberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36643715154076,"sku":"9780803292277","price":16.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_bdbc8b18-f462-413e-8b5b-1116d51ec722.jpg?v=1603857132","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-pueblo-revolt-9780803292277","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
