President Taft proclaimed the Gran Quivira National Monument, New Mexico, containing ruins Pueblo settlements dating back to the 9th Century and Spanish missions dating back to the 17th.
Exact dates for the Puebloan settlements would be impossible to determine, but construction of the missions started in 1622 and were completed in 1635. An additional church was built in 1651. The entire population migrated north in 1677, and everything was abandoned.
The expanded site today is the Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument.
Thirteen year old working in glass factory, November 1, 1909.
