January 1998 marks the 400th anniversary of the entrada into New Mexico. Don Juan de Onate and a large group of colonists left New Spain to colonize New Mexico in the name of the King of Spain, Phillip II.  Tina Bell and Wendi Goen, two NMSU graduate students, prepared a series of articles which chronicles the weekly progress of this journey. These articles will be available for educators and the public throughout the United States to access.
