![]() ![]() Yet, this is a part of our history that gets glossed over. In many ways, this is exactly what happened in the Southwest. The historical moments in American history that result in the most ink spilled on the most pages tend to involve instances where Americans engaged in a clash of civilizations and won, and in so doing these moments become those that define the character of the nation. Unlike the American Revolution, the founding era, the Civil War, or World War II, where it is relatively easy to find excellently produced and superbly written book-length accounts of historical events and figures, you have to look harder to find good records of the Mexican-American War and the subsequent subjugation of the Navajo.īy some measures this is odd. The history of the American Southwest isn’t a story that gets told along with the marquis narratives of American history. ![]()
