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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
