It is however not unlike many others these people came from when they settled there, history dos not say. They were unquestionably ancient. They spoke the same tongue and were of the same basic stock at the occuâ€" pants of Jamez Pueblo, sixty miles or more to the west. Pecos was loâ€" cated â€"well to the east and on the edge of the buffalo country.â€" It was in a constant struggle with the roving bands of Comanches, Apaches, Utes and Navahos; the ravages of sickness wore it down.:» * ~~* sued thereon. Now the area is largeâ€" ly occupied by the ranch of a well known rodeo promoter. There are two good sized Mexican villages upon it; a transcontinental railway and an ocean to ocean ~highway cut it; a small section where the village stood is being excavated under the direcâ€" tion of â€"eminent archaeologists; parts are occupied by modern tourist ranchâ€" buildings alone mark the spot. © _."The area originally granted the Pecos pueblo by Spain in 1689 comâ€" prised 18,643 acres. This claim was more or less recognized by Mexico. _â€"________Oldest of All â€"Pecos, the historic, we know whs the largest settlementâ€"within the present boundaries of our country four centuries ago. All the Spanish explorers of our Southwest knew of its existence. Coronado wrote of it in 1540.. Onate visited it in 1598. De Vargas sought its allegiance in 1693. Here one of the first Franciscan martyrs died. Today it is but a shell, former greatness gone, where once 2,000 inhabitants lived and prosâ€" pered. Today not a person even reâ€" motely related to the former grantees "If one were to ask the next ten peoâ€" ple he happened to meet, what was the ~largest settlement within the present boundaries of the United States four hundred years ago, he would probably get many and varied answers. The correct answer is given by Louis H. Warner, chairman of the Pueblo Lands board, in an interesting article on the great Southwest in the eurrent issue of the National Repubâ€" lic. The »settlement was Pecos, and there are ruins in New Mexico of many other ancient settlements. Writâ€" ing of Pecos, the historic, Mr. Warâ€" ner says, in part: Two Thouwsand Persons Living There 400 Years Ago; Few Now OLDEST SETTLEMENT l _ B IN NEW MEXICO to County Hospital T H E .
