Rio Grande “The land also has many rivers in which there are fish in great abundance. There are salt marshes, too. In particular, the Río del Norte, which we can ford when it is flowing low, comes up to our saddles. When it flows during spring runoff, the current is fast and tremendous with water of the melting snows.” From A Harvest of Reluctant Souls by Friar Alonso de Benavides’s History of New Mexico, 1630. Translated by Baker. H Morrow. The image at the bottom of the panel is a landscape of the Rio Grande, this is a braided and meandering river with many sand banks throughout, and the sides of the river are thick with trees.
