Description: Lancers for the King: A Study of the Frontier Military Mystem of Northern New SpainWith a translation of the Royal Regulations of 1772 Sidney B. Brinkerhoff and Odie B. Faulk 1965 Arizona Historical Foundation 128 page illustrated hardcover with jacket Number 137 of a special autographed edition of 200 copies________________________________________________ Two young authors in “Lancers for the King” bring to American history a revealing analysis of the role of the presidio’s built by the Spanish in a cordon reaching from the Colorado River to the west almost to the shores of the Gulf of Mexico. The authors have combined historical and anthropological evidence in an essay that clarifies and enlarges the role of the borderland presidio as a companion of the mission as institutions of Spanish colonization. More than 30 illustrations show arms and equipment used by Spanish and Mexican soldiers who braved Indian wrath and attempting to stop their incursions southward. These pictures are based on contemporary pictures and on artifactual evidence from the Presidio’s themselves. Two original maps by the expert cartographer Don Bufkin to help the reader locate the presidio’s that formed the cordon of the frontier.
