About An Expedition to the Unknown Land: The Journal of Friar Miquel de La
We Explore and Conquer For God, Glory, Gold
This story is built around excerpts from the recently discovered journal of Fray Miguel De La Garza as he recorded the events that took place during travels to explore an unknown territory. The expedition was made at the request of then New Mexico Governor Don Pedro de Peralta.
The history of the Southwest is full of untold stories and as a historian I believe that all stories should be told. We may never know all the people and incidents that made the Southwest what it was and what it became. The people who originally lived along the Rio Grande and the Pecos River left us some records, but many of those peoples were decimated by their encounters with Europeans. The clash of cultures that took place made for situations that often looked much like the ones contained in the book.

I am a fan of Jack Webb, so here are the facts, just the facts.
I grew up in a Navy family, so I have been exposed to a wide variety of human beings. I am a veteran of the United States Coast Guard. I have been a radio disc jockey. I have been the pastor of a Cowboy Church. I have worked in technology as a computer programmer for over 40 years, yes I am old, and I know how to adapt.
I have lived a life of variety and my interests are varied. I have lived in multiple states and locations. I have and still do travel extensively throughout the United States, because that is where our roots are.
I am a student of history because I truly believe that we need to understand our history.
I also know that the reality of history can often make some people uncomfortable.
My novels are based on our history and while being fictional, I strive to inject elements of truth and reality throughout.
