Durango, Chihuahua, San Bartolome, guajugilla and others. October 13, 1788 -- January 19, 1789. 74p. Letters. Originals, signed, copies.

Summary

Detailed accounts of Apache, Taraumara and Mezcalero depredations around Durango oct-December 1788. Mostly copies of military reports from regional officials to Diaz de Hortega. Reports livestock thefts of burros, horses, mules, cattle and oxen, wasteful killing of livestock, maize seed and harvest theft (numerous times), general theft, highway assaults, murders of men, women, children, kidnappings, and flayings. Specific account of Indians who stole clothes from bathing women and later wounded or killed the women. Precise casualty and damage statistics in narrative form. Cites depressed mine commerce and Vecino hacienda abandonment as results of depredations. Repreated complaints about Vecino abandonment; observation made that abandonment encourages more attacks which in turn force abandonment. Virrey Flores responds, agreeing that Vecino abandonment fuels further depredations, but declares that without Vecino defense support, merely increasing military force will not reduce Indian incursions. Virrey encourages use of auxiliaries and vecinos for defense. Brief mention of Indian battle tactic wherein Indians outflank Spanish and then attack. (S. Gibbs, February 1988)

Summary

Detailed military reports of Apache and Taraumara depredations around Durango (1788) including 1) damage descriptions, 2) results of hostilities, 3) steps taken to end depredations, 4) details of military movements. Relates Indian attack on armed exploratory group, robberies of silver, livestock, maize harvests, corn seeds, tools, guns and cloaks. Mentions kidnapping of women, murders and flayings, needless scattering of seeds and wasteful killing of livestock (thus sharpening food shortage). Notes drought. Detailed description of incident in which unidentified Indian group traps women in a house, sets house on fire, and strips those trying to escape. Cites village abandonment and disruption of carbon and seed trade routes as corregidor grants license to exterminate Indians. Notes Spanish burning and flaying of Taraumara captives. Virrey emphasizes need to increase confidence and hope in vecinos to avoid further depopulation; orders publication of Bando to this effect. Virrey also suggests reopening of military post at Noria to help defend Babonoyaba. Military concerns include augmentation of regular army by hacienda, Vecino and Indian auxiliaries. Special mention of Rancho owners supplying armed, mounted men for retaliation purposes. Attempt to set up efficient vecino-based campaign fails because of 1) laziness of vecinos and 2)sluggishness and ineffective leadership of Cassanova. Compania de dragones established for insolvents. Detailed record of inter-presidial troop movements. Precise numerical record of troop sizes and casualties. Repeated citation of failure to track Indians or to re-obtain stolen goods. Unsuccessful tracking blamed on tracks obscured by rain and laziness of vecinos. In general, documents in chronological order with a lot of content repitition due to sequential placement of original and copy. (S. Gibbs February, 1988)
