New Mexico History

Pueblo Revolt, August 10, 1680 (Age 45 years), Nuevo México, Nueva España.^[5]

Text:

Four days following the attack of Pueblo Indians, the survivors of the Spanish settlements of the Rio Abajo region were camped at Isleta Pueblo where a general account of the recent traumatic events were recorded. The group proceeded southward to the Pueblo of Socorro where they found the Pueblo Indians to be peaceful and apparently not privy to plans to attack the Spanish citizens as organized by the northern Pueblo people. Under the guidance of Captain Alonso Garcia, the various military leaders gave their opinion on the course of action to follow. The council of Military leaders including Francisco Romero de Pedraza, agreed to seek a place of safety by traveling further south in retreat.
