Cemetery and ruins of San Geromino de Taos church.

Black and White conversion of shot taken at noon on the Taos Navajo Pueblo.

The original San Geronimo Church was built in the 17th century. In 1847 the Taos Puebloans revolted against the Taos Anglos and scalped and beheaded the Governor, Charles Bent. In retaliation the Anglos attacked the Pueblo and burned down the original church, desecrated the cemetery and killed many of the puebloans. Today, all that stands are the remains of the bell tower and the restored cemetery.
