STREETS OF ACOMA, NEW MEXICO. Acoma
is one of the most interesting of the pueblos.
The first view of the valley of Acoma is a scene
of incomparable beauty—a long, broad, steep
walled basin, carpeted with grass and green with
growing crops, and in the midst, the monolithic
rock mesa, 350 feet high, on whose top is the
village Acoma. It is noted for an old church
of huge proportions which must have taken many
years to build. Its walls are 60 feet high and 10
feet thick and contains timbers 40 feet long and
14 inches square, each portion of which was car-
ried up from the plain below. Formerly Acoma
was reached only by a hazardous stairway cut
in the rocks now an easy pathway exists.
