Description

The Jumanos: Hunters and Traders of the South PlainsIn the late sixteenth century, Spanish explorers described encounters with North American people they called "Jumanos." Although widespread contact with Jumanos is evident in accounts of exploration and colonization in New Mexico, Texas, and adjacent regions, their scattered distribution and scant documentation have led to long standing disagreements: was "Jumano" simply a generic name loosely applied to a number of tribes, or were they an authentic,

In the late sixteenth century, Spanish explorers described encounters with North American people they called "Jumanos." Although widespread contact with Jumanos is evident in accounts of exploration and colonization in New Mexico, Texas, and adjacent regions, their scattered distribution and scant documentation have led to long-standing disagreements: was "Jumano" simply a generic name loosely applied to a number of tribes, or were they an authentic, vanished people?

In the first full-length study of the Jumanos, anthropologist Nancy Hickerson proposes that they were indeed a distinctive tribe, their wide travel pattern linked over well-established itineraries. Drawing on extensive primary sources, Hickerson also explores their crucial role as traders in a network extending from the Rio Grande to the Caddoan tribes' confederacies of East Texas and Oklahoma.

Hickerson further concludes that the Jumanos eventually became agents for the Spanish colonies, drafted as mercenary fighters and intelligence-gatherers. Her findings reinterpret the cultural history of the South Plains region, bridging numerous gaps in the area's comprehensive history and in the chronicle of these elusive people.

Nice shirt, but sizing isn’t ideal for big and tall builds
Size: XX-Large Tall, Color: Black
The shirt itself is decent quality and looks good, but the fit wasn’t great for me. If you’re a big and tall guy, this may not be the best option. The material has some stretch and feels comfortable, but the overall cut runs smaller and doesn’t offer much room in the shoulders or torso. It works better for slimmer or more standard builds. If the sizing works for you, it’s a nice-looking shirt. Just be aware that it’s not very forgiving in the fit if you need extra room.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Durable Protection That Holds Up in Any Weather
Size: 65 inch, Color: Black
This grill cover is exactly what I needed. The material feels thick and heavy-duty, and it holds up great against sun, wind, and rain. The waterproof design really works—my grill stays completely dry. I also love the secure fit with the hook-and-loop straps; it doesn’t blow off in strong winds. No fading so far either. Great quality and a solid investment to protect your grill!

Good quality, great price
Size: 72 Inch, Color: Black, Size: 72 Inch, Color: Black
Lovely cover and very well-made. I’m not using it for a grill. I am using it for my beach cruiser bike. I love the fact that it’s reflective fabric on the inside. It fits very well and it’s very lightweight and well maneuverable compared to the thicker fabrics that are sold out there. I highly recommend this item. I’ve only had it for a couple weeks, but so far very waterproof and doing the job. Easy to put on and remove.

Good quality, water resistant
Size: 52 inch, Color: Black
Feels thinner than the one I had before this which was the same company and model. Still good quality and value for the money. Fits well and looks good. Is water resistant and black is the true color. We’ll see how sturdy it is over the years.

Good cover for the price
Size: 58 inch, Color: Black
I’m very happy with this grill cover so far. It fit my grill really well without being too tight or loose. The material feels sturdy and weather-resistant, and it seems like it will hold up well over time. It was easy to put on and gives good coverage and protection. Definitely worth the purchase
