 | | While the Pilgrims were clearing land for Plymouth Plantation, a second generation of Spanish farmers tended flocks and harvested crops in Spain's northernmost colony in the Americas. |
 | | The Palace of the Governors' four-foot thick walls, long galleries, small rooms and secure courtyard mirror its original purpose as a seat of government on a remote frontier. |
 | | Through Palace doors have passed Spanish soldiers, Pueblo peoples, Mexican governors, U.S. military personnel, an army of the Confederate States of America, New Mexico territorial governors, and merchants who came by way of the Santa Fe Trail. |
