Ácomas as shields of buckskin, bows and flint-tipped arrows, war-clubs,
and a helmet of buffalo hide.

[68] No satisfactory translation of Villagrá’s narrative has yet
appeared, and the writer is indebted for the material used in this
paraphrase to Lummis, _The Spanish Pioneers_.
[69] This is, so far as known, the only mention of subterranean passages
cut in the Rock. Do they still exist and are they used?

[71] A translation of this remarkable account may be found in the article
by Bourke, _American Anthropologist_, Vol. VIII, April, 1894.
[72] Perea served as custodian until 1633 or 1636, and during that period
founded the church and monastery at Sandía, where he was buried.
[73] A graphic description of the discomforts of the “Jornado del Muerto”
in 1888 may be read in _The Land of the Pueblos_, by Mrs. Lew Wallace.
[74] The name Robledo is still on the map, sixty miles above El Paso.
[75] The text gives the celebration as the “Pascua del Espiritú Santo.”
Hodge and Lummis translate this as Easter, which would make the march
from Robledo to Santa Fé, including the delay of four days, only a
week in passing. In the Roman church the Feast of the Holy Spirit is
Pentecost, the celebration of the descent of the Holy Ghost upon the
disciples of Christ, and comes fifty days after Easter. We need not infer
that the party did not reach Santa Fé somewhat earlier than Pentecost,
but only that it was this Holy Day they celebrated there.
[76] The _Encyclopaedia Britannica_ gives no such places as Abasia or
Mount Amar. It does speak of _Amasia_ with an acropolis on a lofty cliff
overhanging the town. This is a town in Anatolia (Turkey), splendidly
situated in a narrow gorge on both sides of a river and eighty miles
from its mouth. It contains remarkable antiquities such as the tombs of
the kings of Pontus, described by Strabo. (Illustrated in the _National
Geographic Magazine_, July, 1918, in article “Under the Heel of the
Turk.”)
