Integration Of Mexican-American Heritage Into United States History, Hubert J. Miller
Integration Of Mexican-American Heritage Into United States History, Hubert J. Miller
History Faculty Publications and Presentations
During the past decade, it has been made clear that educational structures and curricula must become responsive to student needs and aspirations. Many minority groups are calling for development of an educational system which includes the study of ethnic heritages and aspirations. The response has been the inauguration of black, Chicano, and American Indian studies. The growing acceptability of ethnic courses offers hope for future educational innovations in which the study of history will play an integral role. The content of U.S. history should include the many ethnic cultures which have become part of the democratic experience. In this paper, …
Juan De Zumarraga: First Bishop Of Mexico, Hubert J. Miller
Juan De Zumarraga: First Bishop Of Mexico, Hubert J. Miller
History Faculty Publications and Presentations
The decades of the 1530's and 1540's witnessed the founding of Hispanic colonial institutions, many of which with modifications continue today. Among the most lasting of these has been the Church. This is part of Juan de Zumarraga's (Mexico's first archbishop) legacy, not only the setting up of ecclesiastical administration but also the prelate's ministry among his people. Zumarraga's concerns were many and varied. Concern for the Indians' spiritual and material well-being prompted Zumarraga to establish schools and hospitals, introduce the first printing press, and collect a library. Equally significant and less known is his role of introducing and promoting …
Victor Considerant And The Failure Of La Réunion, Rondel V. Davidson
Victor Considerant And The Failure Of La Réunion, Rondel V. Davidson
History Faculty Publications and Presentations
While traveling from Dallas, Texas to Fort Worth via the Dallas-Fort Worth Turnpike, one crosses about 1,200 acres of land on the outskirts of West Dallas which once accommodated an experiment to fulfill one of the nineteenth century's most noble dreams- the dream that man could establish social, economic, and political justice through some type of communal association. Today the area is bounded on the north by the Trinity River, on the south by the Old Fort Worth Highway, on the east by Hampton Road, and on the west by Westmoreland Avenue. Perhaps ironically, this territory now harbors an industrial …

Antonio De Mendoza: First Viceroy Of Mexico, Hubert J. Miller
History Faculty Publications and Presentations
As Mexico's first viceroy, Antonio de Mendoza's most noteworthy achievement was his laying the basis of colonial government in New Spain which continued, with modifications, for 300 years. Although he was lenient in dealing with the shortcomings of his Indian and Spanish subjects, he took a firm stand in dealing with the rebellious Indians in the Mixton War and the Cortes faction which threatened the Viceregal rule. His primary concern was to keep New Spain for the crown while protecting the Indians from want and inhumanity. Focusing on the institutions he founded and developed, this booklet provides a study of …
Bartolome De Las Casas: Protector Of The Indians, Hubert J. Miller
Bartolome De Las Casas: Protector Of The Indians, Hubert J. Miller
History Faculty Publications and Presentations
Bartolome de las Casas devoted himself completely to crusading for the rights of the Indians. Although he was never a missionary among Indians, he began projects such as the Indians' conversion in the Land of War in Guatemala, which later became the task of his Dominican colleagues. However, his true importance lay in his role as the Indians' protector before the royal court. This was shown by his involvement in the debate of Valladolid, the decree of the New Laws of 1542, and the campaign for the abolition of the encomienda and Indian slavery. However, the significance of his crusade …
Hernan Cortes: Conquistador And Colonizer, Hubert J. Miller
Hernan Cortes: Conquistador And Colonizer, Hubert J. Miller
History Faculty Publications and Presentations
The conquest and colonization of Mexico initiated by Hernan Cortes resulted in the fusion of the Indian and Hispanic cultures. This fusion led to the "mestizo" culture. Cortes was the bearer of the Hispanic heritage just as the Aztecs and other Indians in Mexico and the Southwest were the carriers of the Indian heritage. In studying the life of Cortes, he is seen not only as a military conqueror but also as a colonizer in which role he left a more lasting legacy than he did as the victor over the Aztec Empire. This booklet focuses on Cortes' colonizing efforts. …
History Of The Lincoln County War By Maurice Garland Fulton And Robert M. Mullin (Review), Felix D. Almaraz Jr.
History Of The Lincoln County War By Maurice Garland Fulton And Robert M. Mullin (Review), Felix D. Almaraz Jr.
History Faculty Publications and Presentations
For more than four decades, through the media of folklore, oral tradition, and motion pictures, the turmoil which erupted in the 1870's in Lincoln County, Territory of New Mexico, has been depicted as a dramatic collision of strong-willed personalities, the most notable of whom was William Bonney, alias Billy the Kid. Even historical literature, with the exception of specialized studies, often presented romanticized versions of that controversial event. For these reasons the publication of Maurice Garland Fulton's History of the Lincoln County War has answered the need for a definitive, objective account of the turbulence in southeastern New Mexico which …
