Autor

Donald E. Chipman is a legend among historians of colonial New Spain. He is the author, co-author, or major contributor to ten important works on Spain in Texas, Mexico, and the borderlands, and his list of awards is lengthy and distinguished. Among the most notable, though, is that Professor Chipman is a Knight of the Order of Isabel the Catholic, conferred on orders of Juan Carlos I, in 2003. This is highest honor the Spanish Government can bestow on a non-Spaniard. 'I began this publication project at age ninety and completed it at age ninety-one,' Chipman wrote. 'It stands as a valedictory on the premise that one should write what he or she knows.' And no one knows this story better than Chipman.
