Excerpt from Who Were the Padouca?Villazur set out with a force of fifty Spaniards, armed with guns, and had with him a force of Indians constantly referred to in the documents of the time as Apaches Jicarillas. Incidentally, he took with him, besides servants, a mule loaded with his own table silverware, which later, certain narrators referred to as church plate. The expedition set out June 14, 1720, and on September 6, Tamariz, a soldier, reached Santa Fe with the news that the command had been destroyed.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
