Awarded the Pulitzer Prize for History.
"This is assuredly one of the best pieces of regional history yet written in the United States. Actually, it transcends regional history and soars far above the river valley with which it deals; it is a survey, rich in color and fascinating in pictorial detail, of four civilizations: the aboriginal Indian, the Spanish, the Mexican, and the Anglo-American . . . (It) has a narrative sweep which carries the reader down the centuries at an exciting pace . . . (and) presents the clash, the mutual attraction and repulsion, the final merger of the four peoples involved and their varied cultures, with a sense of drama which owes nothing to prejudice or partiality. " -- Allan Nevins
