Description
The Delight Makers by Adolph Francis Alphonse Bandelier and Charles Fletcher Lummis is a unique blend of fiction and historical analysis set in 19th-century New Mexico. Written after nearly a decade of research among the Pueblo tribes, this anthropological novel offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives of the Queres people, ancestors of the modern Pueblos. Set against the stunning backdrop of the region's natural beauty, The Delight Makers tells the story of a powerful people ruled by the secretive Koshare, or "Delight Makers." However, their power is threatened by opposition from local clans and ultimately leads to a catastrophic war with the Tehua tribe. This edition of the novel has been carefully reimagined for modern readers. Mint Editions is proud to offer this classic work of American literature in a fresh, professionally typeset format, complete with a new cover that brings the story to life.
