In the late nineteenth century there was a furor for all things Spanish. From California, through Texas, and all the way to Florida, Spanish-Romanesque architecture—with its archways and red-tile roofs best represented by the Stanford University campus—held sway. Literary works like Helen Hunt Jackson's Ramona (1884) became populated by dark-eyed señoritas and good-natured priests. Most impressively, author Charles Fletcher Lummis, archaeologist Adolph Bandelier, and historian Hubert Howe Bancroft were actually able to make money by selling to the American public the multisecular Indian-Spanish past of the southern tier of the United States. Nowhere was this movement more heartily embraced than in New Mexico. Spanish-speaking New Mexicans proudly celebrated their Spanish heritage and displayed their ties to Spain and its involvement in North America. In New Mexico this feeling was so deep and pervasive that when a twist of fate precipitated a war between the United States and Spain in 1898, nuevomexicanos became suspect.
