Quivira Society Pub;ication Vol. XI. ‘The pattern of historical writing on New Mexico - from Hubert Howe Bancroft, and Ralph Emerson Twitchell to the New Mexico Historical Review, The Quivira Society publications, and the Coronado Cuarto Centennial volumes - has been to stress the Spanish beginnings and the early development of the province… In its earlier forms the trilogy has functioned since Bancroft’s day as “the greatest single source” for New Mexican history from the closing years of Spanish control to the end of Mexican period. As enhanced by Carroll and Haggard, it is even more worthy of such a niche.' (Southwestern Historical Quarterly review).
