Iron Spur Collected by Father Noël Dumarest

content: 19th century
notes: label: Description
content: Horses and riding equipment such as spurs, saddles, and stirrups played a fundamental role in Spanish conquest, exploration, and settlement. In the 1500s, the Spanish brought cattle, sheep, and horses into northern Mexico. Spanish settlers and Native peoples developed ranching and grazing economies through much of the Southwest. This spur was collected by Father Noël Dumarest sometime between 1894 and 1900 when he was placed in charge of the Indian Pueblos of Cochiti, Santo Domingo, and San Felipe as well as several Mexican towns.
