Book excerpt: The author surveys the Spanish architecture of Florida, New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, Arizona, and California prior to 1846 and offers an assessment of Hispanic architecture in the following years; describing the forms and styles of churches, forts, simple houses, and other structures; while shedding light on the social contexts within which they were built. In addition to numerous black and white photographs, 16 color plates show examples of the structures discussed.
