Gaspar Castano de Sosa al rey. Memoria sobre descubrimientos en el Nuevo Mexico.

Serial Number

Author(s)
Castano de Sosa, Gaspar
Date

Documentation
Mexico?. July 27, 1570. Approx 50pp. Typesc. Transl. Ms.
Summary
Here Sosa provides a report in his expedition to New Mexico submitted in compliance with the concessions granted by the king. He describes the entire journey, up until the point at which the document ends in what seems to be a state of incompleteness. The document is not particularly rich ethnographically until the end, when a brief sketch is given of one Pueblo where three soldiers separated from the main lost much gear. Later as larger party spent some time there and made observations. Some of the processes of grinding corn and building houses are given. (C. Briggs) (1975)

Date

Documentation

Summary
An affidavit of Vargas' request to the king for permission to proceed to New Mexico. The part of interest is in the front where a summary of previous explorations in New Mexico is given. This focuses on the character and economy of the native peoples. Although two and three story pueblos with governors were found, the Indians are characterized as being of such a state of barbary that only a few men should go and at de Vargas' expense. (C. Briggs) (1975)
