The story of the colonization of Northern New Mexico and one of its leading "parajes" (El Camino Real campsite) will fascinate anyone interested in the history of the American Southwest. For example, what cultures were there when the colonists arrived in 1598? What military genius defeated Cuerno Verde, the firebrand Comanche chief, and in 1786 executed a long-lasting peace treaty? Why was Juan de O ate sent to establish the first permanent European settlement in the United States in 1598, nine years before the settlement of Jamestown and twenty-five years before the Pilgrims arrived at Plymouth Rock? And why did New Mexico fail to attain U.S. statehood until 1912? How did the Battle of Glorieta Pass help turn the tide during the American Civil War? What herbs were in the "curandera's" (traditional healer) medicine cabinet? Why were marriages arranged? What function do the Penitentes still play in New Mexico's Catholicism? Did Miguel Vega y Coca and his family play a role in New Mexico's re-colonization? And finally, what is an "acequia"? The answers to these questions, and more, are to be found between the covers of this book. SHIRLEY BARNES earned her BA and MA degrees from the University of Colorado and was a library media specialist for the Jefferson County Public Schools in Colorado before she retired to Santa Fe, New Mexico. Soon after arriving, she became a docent at El Rancho de las Golondrinas, a living history museum of the colonial Hispanic experience in La Ci nega valley near Santa Fe. Born and raised in what was once Spanish territory, Shirley became an aficionado of the richness of the regional Hispanic and Native American societies. She has been quoted as saying, "The depth of culture here exceeds that of anywhere else in the United States."

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Kitchen Cleanup Just Got a Glow-Up 🧽✨
Color: Yellow
Okay, I didn’t think I’d get excited about dish brushes… until I found the Holikme 6-Pack Kitchen Brush Set. Let me tell you, these little guys are absolute kitchen superheroes. 🦸‍♀️🦸‍♂️ The set comes with a vegetable palm brush, bottle brush, dish brush, and 3 other handy brushes, and honestly… I didn’t know my kitchen was missing so much variety until now. It’s like a Swiss Army knife, but for scrubbing. 🧽🔧 The vegetable brush is perfect for scrubbing carrots, potatoes, or anything that grows in dirt 🌱🥕. No more awkwardly holding veggies and scraping dirt off like a medieval peasant. 😂 The bottle brush gets deep into narrow water bottles, wine bottles, and even those weird reusable coffee mugs that normally just collect grime forever. ☕💦 The dish brushes? Magic. The bristles are firm but not aggressive, so they scrub off stuck-on cheese or pasta sauce without turning my plates into a modern art abstract. 🍝🧀 They’re also easy to hold—the ergonomic handles mean I can scrub for a while without my hand cramping like it’s lifting weights. 💪 Extra points: They dry quickly and resist mold (hallelujah 🙏). They’re durable—I’ve been scrubbing dishes for weeks and they still look brand new. Cute colors make them fun to grab (even cleaning can be aesthetically pleasing 😎🎨). Things I loved ✔️ 6 brushes for every kitchen task 🧽 ✔️ Ergonomic handles = happy hands ✋ ✔️ Bottle brush reaches the deep spots 🍼 ✔️ Vegetable brush = dirt-be-gone 🥕 ✔️ Durable, quick-drying, and mold-resistant 💦 Tiny downside Honestly… the only danger is becoming obsessed with scrubbing random stuff just for fun. 😅 My cat now thinks I’m weirdly enthusiastic about brushes. 🐱 Overall: If your kitchen brushes are sad, old, or just plain boring, this Holikme 6-pack set will upgrade your cleanup game big time. From dishes to veggies to bottles, these brushes handle it all—and make you feel like a cleaning ninja while you’re at it. 🥷✨🧽

It’s okay, worth the price
Color: Yellow
I love the aesthetics of these brushes. They aren’t the best bristles though. But you really have to scrub. It’s not the best brush I’ve ever used but it gets the job done. I will note I use cast iron pans. I would definitely recommend a stronger brush for that cookware. However for the cost, I am happy with them. I find it to be very reasonable for how they look and how sturdy they are. They’ll work great for most of our dishes- my cookware however will need a better option.

Versatile and esthetically nice
Color: Yellow
Perfect kitchen set. I love how soft and sturdy the bristles are. They are stiff enough to clean well but soft enough to flex as needed

Perfect Set of Brushes for All Your Kitchen Cleaning Needs!
Color: Yellow
The Holikme 6-Pack Dish Brush Kitchen Brushes are exactly what I needed! These brushes are super versatile and get the job done effortlessly. Each brush has a sturdy handle and firm bristles that make scrubbing dishes, pots, and pans a breeze. The different brush styles included in the set make it easy to clean everything from delicate glassware to tough, baked-on grime. I particularly love the ergonomic handle—makes it so comfortable to hold and use for long cleaning sessions without straining my hand. The bristles are durable but gentle enough not to scratch non-stick cookware, which is a huge plus for me. The best part? The set comes with multiple brushes, so I always have a fresh one on hand. These are also easy to clean and dry quickly. If you’re looking for an affordable and efficient brush set that covers all your kitchen cleaning needs, this one is a no-brainer!

Clean dishes here we come!
Color: Yellow
I've purchased this item twice now and it's the only set that my husband and I agree on for the quality. The bristles are strong and help to clean our cast iron pans. Everything comes assembled and they're sturdy for the scrubbing.
