Show New Mexico treasures Missions of Manzano iBOUT 400 YEARS ago there were several tribes of Indians living in a beautiful mountain Shangri-L- a along the eastern edge of the Manzano Mountains in central New Mexico. Behind them rose the mountains where deer, antelope, bear and wild turkey provided plentiful meat for their fires. descenThese were Anasazi dants of the ancient ones who had inhabited this land since the beginning of time. They were descended from the early hunters who for thousands of years had roamed the vast land, following mastadons and bison. Slowly, accidentally, they learned that a seed dropped into the ground, if it received enough water, produced grain. They began helping nature by digging the holes with sticks placing the seeds within, and life became a little easier. First there were small family groups, then through the centuries they became clans, then groups of clans. When the Spaniards conquered this land they called these villages the Saline Pueblos, for spilled on the plains near the mountains were many beds of salt deposited by long forgotten d lakes. In 1541 Coronados helmeted soldiers saw the salt beds and the nearby pueblos, but they sought gold, not salt. Later, however, during Spanish colonial days they worked the salt beds extensively. From the days of the Coronado Expedition Franciscan fathers labored in this lonely and lovely land. Some 80 massive missions were scattered throughout the Spanish colony. Some were of adobe, some of sandstone and one of limestone. During the great Indian rebellion of 1680 all of these great mission churches in New Mexico land-locke- spacious cruiseship sailing from Miami to The Bahamas I bedroom Suit, AH With Kitchen Pool, Laundry Facilities, linens.

Only seven remain today. Two were rebuilt and are still in use by the original Indian tribes who built them, the others are in some stage of ruin and are protected as state or national monuments. The three great Saline missions at Abo, Quarai, and Gran Quivira are of this latter group, but they were deserted even before the rebellion. Sometime during the 1670s all three were abandoned by their missionaries and their flocks, and from that time were known as the cities that died of fear." Evidence at Quarai suggests a devastating attack. Bodies were found unburied, some in positions suggesting they were going about their normal daily routine of cooking food, gathering wood, children playing. Probably the attackers killed sentries and surprised the people in the pue- blo.
