Description

Having retaken Santa Fe by force of arms late in 1693| Diego de Vargas faces unrelenting challenges| waging active warfare against defiant Pueblo Indian resisters while maintaining peace with Pueblo allies; providing homes| food| and supplies for 1|500 unsure colonists; and bidding unceasingly for greater support from viceregal authorities in Mexico City. At the head of combined units of Spanish and Pueblo fighting men| the governor in 1694 leads repeated assaults on castle-like fortified sites. Through combat| prisoner exchange| and negotiation| he reestablishes the kingdom. Franciscans reopen some of the missions. Vargas founds the villa of Santa Cruz de la Canada. Pueblos north and west of Santa Fe rebel again in 1696; wearily| Vargas reports more blood on the boulders. Through The Journals of don Diego de Vargas| translated from official and private correspondence| we are drawn back| through conflict and compromise| into New Mexico’s formative era.
