SCHAT-CHEN History Traditions and Narratives of the Queres Indians of Laguna and Acoma

By John M. Gunn

Hardback first edition 1917. 223 pages, illustrated. Drawings by Queres Indians

This very rare book presents the history of the Queres-speaking Indians of Acoma and Laguna Pueblos.  It was published 100 years ago and is filled with information that would not be available today from the Indians.  In addition to the history of the pueblos, it beautifully covers traditions, legends and stories, most of which have been passed down orally before being recorded in writing.  The book is beautifully illustrated. Very good condition.
