Description

"Knight Without Armor: Carlos Eduardo Castaneda, 1896-1958 is the definitive biography of one of the most substantial yet unknown historians of the twentieth century. No other historian of Hispanic descent has matched Castaneda's success, with eighteen books and nearly fifty articles published in three decades. He was one of the most distinguished historians of his time, having earned prestigious accolades such as knighthood in the Vatican's Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem and in Spain's Order of Isabel la Catolica as praise for his contributions to the study of Catholicism and the history of the Spanish borderlands in North America.". "Until his death in 1958, Carlos E. Castaneda worked to educate others on the history of Hispanic Americans and their culture and courageously sought equality for his people. Author Felix Almaraz has compiled numerous writings, interviews, and photographs from private collections as well as extensive data from state and national archives in this worthy tribute to an important historian."--BOOK JACKET.
