While we know our northern friends may not feel it, in the South, Spring is
here. So we thought we'd share a few of our gardening sites appropriate
for this time of the year. Along with gardening, there's grilling, and getting
ready to diet so that you can fit back into that bathing suit this summer!

Mexico Indian Villages, Towns and
Settlements
A complete listing of all the Indian villages,
towns and settlements as listed in Handbook of Americans North of Mexico.
El Morro (Span.: ´the castle`). A pre historic ruined
pueblo, consisting of the remains of two blocks of dwellings, situated on the
summit of a rock mesa called El Morro, or Inscription Rock, about 35m. E. of
Zuni, Valencia co., N. Mex. The pueblo is reputed to be of Zuñi
origin, but there is only legendary testimony of this. The peñol
is called El Morro on account of its fancied resemblance to a castle from a
distance, and Inscription Rock from the occurrence thereon of numerous
inscriptions carved by early Spanish explorers. The earliest in date is that of
Juan de Onate in 1605. For description see Bandelier in Arch. Inst. Papers,
iv, 328, 1892; Cones, Garcés Diary (1775-76), 1900; Fewkes in
Jour. Am Ethnol. and Archaeol. i, 1890; Hoopes and Broomall in Proc. Del.

xvi, 115, 1871) as a pueblo of the province of Atripuy, in the region of the
lower Rio Grande, N. Mex., in 1598.
Encinal (Span.: ´oak grove`). Formerly a summer village
of the Laguna, now a permanently occupied pueblo, situated 6 m. N. w. of Laguna,
N. Mex. In 1749 an attempt was made by Father Menchero to establish a mission
there for the Navaho, but it was abandoned in the following year. (F.W.H )
