Apache Adaptation to Hispanic Rule by Matthew Babcock (review)

Apache Adaptation to Hispanic Rule by Matthew Babcock (review) 2019 Book Reviews 117 party. Herrick argues that the Moor was the principal intercessor between Spaniards and Natives and thus key in the castaways’ sur vival. Perhaps the most interesting contributions of Herrick’s book are an updated expedition route based on “Nugent Brasher’s on-the-ground research” (169) and the lengthy discussion on the African’s alleged demise. There are no eyewitness accounts of Esteban’s death, but accord- ing to the author, many assumptions have been made based on hearsay, fantasy, and lies. Herrick spends three chapters presenting various pos- sible scenarios to dispel persistent myths, among them that the Zuni killed Esteban because he touched their women. While Herrick allows that the Zunis might have killed the Moor for other reasons, he also offers recent studies that hypothesize that Esteban might have faked his own death to escape slaver y. The book does not present any new scholarship, but it coalesces a great deal of information and offers interesting insights. The bibliography is impressive, and the notes may prove useful for readers. Texas A&M International University Lola Orellano Norris Apache Adaptation to Hispanic Rule. By Matthew Babcock.

Abstract

2019 Book Reviews 117 party. Herrick argues that the Moor was the principal intercessor between Spaniards and Natives and thus key in the castaways’ sur vival. Perhaps the most interesting contributions of Herrick’s book are an updated expedition route based on “Nugent Brasher’s on-the-ground research” (169) and the lengthy discussion on the African’s alleged demise. There are no eyewitness accounts of Esteban’s death, but accord- ing to the author, many assumptions have been made based on hearsay, fantasy, and lies. Herrick spends three chapters presenting various pos- sible scenarios to dispel persistent myths, among them that the Zuni killed Esteban because he touched their women. While Herrick allows that the Zunis might have killed the Moor for other reasons, he also offers recent studies that hypothesize that Esteban might have faked his own death to escape slaver y. The book does not present any new scholarship, but it coalesces a great deal of information and offers interesting insights.
