Summary "Frijoles: A Hidden Valley in the New World" by J. W. Hendron is a historical account written in the mid-20th century. The book explores the rich cultural heritage of the Pueblo Indians who lived in the Frijoles Canyon area in New Mexico, delving into their lifestyles, history, and interactions with early Spanish explorers. Through a blend of archaeological findings, personal anecdotes, and local legends, the narrative seeks to bring the ancient world of these Native Americans to life for contemporary readers and visitors to Bandelier National Monument. The opening of the book establishes a reflective tone as the author recounts his childhood experience of discovering Frijoles Canyon with a sense of wonder. He describes the landscape, the historical significance of the area, and the early figures in archaeology who paved the way for understanding the primitive Pueblo Indians. The narrative also highlights the impressions of the valley's ancient cave dwellings and community structures, creating a backdrop for exploring the lives of these early inhabitants. In doing so, the author conveys a connection between the past and present, underscoring the importance of preserving and appreciating the rich cultural history of Indigenous peoples in this unique environment.
