Shortly after the sacking of Mexico by the Spaniards, the leaders of New Spain heard many rumors of the riches existing in the vast area north of Mexico. In both 1540 and 1599, the viceroy of Mexico formed very large armies to march to the north and find and loot the wealth from areas reputed to being very rich. Francisco Coronado headed the first expedition, but in Cibola and Quivira found the Indians to be very poor and living in skin lodges. Coronado returned to Mexico in great disgrace. Despite the Coronado failures, the Spanish leaders still believed that Quivira possessed rich gold mines. They commissioned Juan de Onaté to lead another expensive expedition to investigate the area. Upon reaching Quivira, Onaté met the same fate as Coronado. He found no gold and had to retreat in ignominious defeat. In spite of the failings of Onaté, the men of his expedition had a great interplay with the Indians of Quivira. On one occasion, they helped defend the Pawnee Indians from the Comanche tribe. So great was the Spaniard quest for gold, that 180 years after Coronado, the Spaniards under Don Pedro de Villasur again invaded Quivira. At this late date under the influence of the French, the Oto and Pawnee attacked the Spaniards along the Platte River and decimated their army. This defeat then spelled the end of the Spanish power on the Great Plains.

This text analyzes and evaluates the participation of Joseph Wheeler in the Spanish-American War. Southerners believe that Wheeler had a significant impact on the unification of the North and South during this period. Second, this historiographic writing acquaints the secondary teacher of history with the importance of the war in America's move toward imperialism. This research suggests there is a relationship between Joseph Wheeler and the healing of the Civil War wounds. This research investigates two different approaches to Wheeler's involvement in the war. The first approach involved the historical interpretation that McKinley's decision to appoint Wheeler as a Volunteer General was based on political expediency and not on ability. The second approach involved the examination of General Wheeler's primary documents and their interpretations of his participation in the war. Results of this research showed the following: (1) Joseph Wheeler's involvement in the Spanish-American War hastened the healing of North/South wounds; (2) Wheeler's involvement in the overall scheme of the war was more than token; and (3) Wheeler was perceived as an American hero by all regions after the war.

This is a two-fold rendition of history and traditions relating to Hispanic/Latinos with a Sephardic Jewish heritage. It tracks the family of a famous Sephardic Jew, Don Luis de Carvajal and his extended family across Spain and Portugal into Mexico and the Southwest of the USA. It reveals the ugliness of the Inquisitions' tortures that were used to convert them to Roman Catholicism and how the Spanish Inquisition was transplanted into Mexico City with tentacles across all of Latin America including New Mexico. The second part of this book categorizes ten lists of Sephardic surnames that intersect with many of today's Hispanic Jews of the Southwest. It reveals practices, customs and terms that were traditional to them for many centuries.

The book describes how the non-Africanoids left ancient India and spread throughout the entire world. One group especially, an Indian caste of miners, traders, and international sailors, known as the Kheeberis (Khybers), now known to us as Phoenicians and Jews, left variations of the word Khyber or Kheeber in every crook and cranny of the world. Even to this day, we use a Greek word for "Everywhere:" Cyber (Kheeber): Cybernetics; Cyberspace, etc. This word is found all over the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, the Near East, the Far East, Africa, China, Malaya, Australia – or wherever. Some writers have said that the spread of the Khybers (Phoenicians and Jews) on this earth could be compared with some special group from earth occupying every planet in the galaxy! When you finish this book, you’ll never again see the American Southwest – or the rest of the world – in the same way!

“When a writer of this capacity tackles a subject of this much excitement it seems as though the covers of a mere book can hardly contain the results. The reality of a notable life tensely lived bursts from its pages.”

Is there Pre-Columbian Writing at Teotihuacan? began as a study to yield a closer examination of a limited set of glyphic elements found at the archaeological site of Teotihuacan in Mexico, in order to verify whether said elements may be part of a writing system. The study of the glyphs presented in the book was structured in such a way as to thoroughly examine the data for similarities between the glyphic elements and the requirements for Meso-American writing systems. This study was not decipherment. Instead it will attempt to verify whether the glyphic elements at Teotihuacan could potentially be a writing system, thus, concluding if further work in the way of a complete decipherment is a possibility.
