The book "The North Frontier of New Spain" has caught my attention of late. I have heard good things about it, but seeing the price tag ($90, used hardcover) makes me consider whether to purchase or to read within a local library. Before making my decision, I need to know exactly what type of information is in the book. I especially need to know the level of detail with which the southeast outskirts of Nueva Galicia are covered. Suggestions on buying or reading are also appreciated.

Luis, muchísimas gracias!

The North Frontier of New Spain by Peter Gerhard
I found the book to be very useful and worth the $70 that I paid for it in 2008. I still look up things in the book from time to time. If you are interested in a particular area, email me directly. I may or may not be able to send you scanned pages, depending on the volume of material requested.

Overview of the book "North
I went over the book at a library and saw other sources mentioned in there. Where could I find the "Suma de Visitas" of the mid sixteenth century for Masamitla-Tamazula? Details of the visit of Lebrón de Quiñones in the late 1500s? Where could I find details of other early visits?

It's at the Downtown LA Library and at UCLA.
If you go to a manuscript publisher, you might get it for a cheaper
price.

I read it a few years ago when I was looking for information on Sinaloa. I'm sorry to say I don't remember enough for a good answer to your questions but I do recall being disappointed there wasn't the kind of detail I'd hoped for. There was pretty good accounting of population figures and political/economic development in the various regions but I was more interested in the social and cultural aspects and found that to be a little threadbare. It was still interesting and worth reading, but I didn't think it was necessary for my reference shelf after reading it on interlibrary loan.I would recommend trying a library copy first before buying.
