Page ix Introduction to the Paperback Edition Herbert E. Bolton's The Spanish Borderlands Albert L. Hurtado "Pray when may I expect that long-delayed document? September has gone into the remote past, and I was to have the manuscript before the end of the month. Please do not keep me waiting longer." 1 Thus in 1917 the exasperated Allen Johnson, editor of the Yale University Press "Chronicles of America" series, begged Herbert E. Bolton to send him a long-promised manuscript on Spain in the United States. But Bolton would make him wait for more months and then for years for the finished product. The delays brought from Johnson's typewriter a stream of pleas, threats, and insults that he vainly hoped would prod Bolton into action. Bolton, however, was committed to more projects than he could have reasonably hoped to accomplish in the time that he had promised. And worse, Bolton

Page x wanted to write a more detailed (and duller) book than the concise, sprightly volume that Johnson required for the series to reach a general audience. As sometimes happens, the editor played a major role in shaping the final product over the author's strenuous objections. In the end, Johnson got the book that he wanted, a brief readable treatment of Bolton's field that was the classic general account for decades, and Bolton got what he needed a lively account of the Spanish presence in the United States that earned a wide popular audience. The publication process brought together three powerful personalities, Bolton, Johnson, and Constance Lindsay Skinner, whose task it was to revise the manuscript that Bolton had prepared. Bolton did not know Skinner's identity until the book was about to be published, but that did not keep him from engaging her in spirited arguments through Johnson. This three-sided debate was about writing style, and it was also about a fundamental difference in historical perspective between Bolton, Johnson, and Skinner. Bolton wanted to provide a Spanish perspective on American history
