Additional Description: Women and children. The women in the group remind us of Doña Eufemia, one of the heroic women settlers whose speech at the beginning of the journey kept the colonists from giving up and returning to their homes. At San Juan de los Caballeros when army strength was low, and the settlement was susceptible to attack, Doña Eufemia had the ladies dress in armor and patrol the rooftops, giving the impression of a larger army. - Information courtesy of the New Mexican Hispanic Culture Preservation League - http://www.nmhcpl.com/
