The Delight Makers (1890) is a novel by Adolph Francis Alphonse
Bandelier with an introduction by Charles Fletcher Lummis. Written
after nearly a decade of research spent living among the Pueblo
tribes of New Mexico, The Delight Makers attempts to recreate the
past through a blend of fiction and historical analysis. This
unique anthropological novel, although naturally limited in scope
due to Bandelier's western worldview, is nevertheless a fascinating
example of creative scholarship and a well-intentioned project by
an important preservationist of America's indigenous history. "It
is a narrow valley, nowhere broader than half a mile; and from
where it begins in the west to where it closes in a dark and gloomy
entrance, scarcely wide enough for two men to pass abreast, in the
east, its length does not exceed six miles. Its southern rim is
formed by the slope of a timbered mesa, and that slope is partly
overgrown by shrubbery." Set in the beautiful landscape of New
Mexico, The Delight Makers is the story of the Queres, ancestors of
the modern Pueblos. Once a powerful people ruled by the secretive
Koshare, or "Delight Makers," the Queres faced opposition between
local clans and eventually engaged in a catastrophic war with the
Tehua tribe. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally
typeset manuscript, this edition of The Delight Makers is a classic
of American literature reimagined for modern readers.
