Title: Ancient Pueblo Town of Zuni, Western New Mexico, "In this town there may be some 200 houses, all compassed with walls; and I think that with the rest of the houses, which are not so walled, there may be some 500. They are very excellent, good houses, of three or four or five lofts high, wherein are good lodgings and fair chambers, with ladders instead of stairs. The people of this town seem to me of reasonable stature and witty. In this place is found some quantity of gold and silver, very good; also turquoise ear-rings, combs, and tablets set with turquoise. That which these Indians worship is the water, for they say it causeth their corn to grow. Coronado, Captain General, 1540."

Notes: On March 9, 1869 a joint resolution of Congress authorized the changing of the Union Pacific Railway Company, Eastern Division’s name to the Kansas Pacific Railway Company.; Although all of the photographs published in Across the Continent on the Kansas Pacific Railroad (Route of the 35th Parallel) are attributed to Gardner, some of the images may have been taken by one of the other photographers Gardner supervised on the expedition. "As official photographer for the expedition, Gardner was allowed to published all the expedition photographs under his name. In 1867 he stated in a deposition that although a photograph was identified on the mount as a ‘Photograph by A. Gardner,’ it simply meant that it was printed or copied in his gallery; he was not necessarily the photographer. The other photographers on the expedition were Dr. William A. Bell, William R. Pywell, and Gardner’s son, Lawrence, who apprenticed on the expedition." [Katz, D. Mark (1991). Witness to an era: the life and photographs of Alexander Gardner: the Civil War, Lincoln, and the West.

Bee Hive home in Fahan
There are clochans or beehive huts (unmortared beehive shaped cells or huts), 19 souterrains, 18 standing and inscribed stones, two sculptured crosses, seven earthen ring forts and two fortified headlands, situated on the Ventry/Slea Head Road. The beehive huts are very characteristic of the area, and owe their shape to the ancient method of construction known as drystone corbelling in which the circular walls are constructed of overlapping stones and curve gradually inwards until they can be covered with a capstone at the top. The technique has a long pedigree in Ireland, going back as far as the burial chamber in the great stone tomb at Newgrange, County Meath, which was built about 5,000 years ago.
