Description
This book surveys and evaluates Indian revolts in northern New Spain during the years 1680-1786 in terms of specific Indian revolts, Spanish Indian policy over time, and relations between Spaniards, Mestizo frontiersmen, and Indians. In this study, northern New Spain refers to what is now the Mexican North and the southwestern US. This northern frontier came to encompass the provinces of Nueva Vizcaya, New Mexico, Sonora Coahuila, Texas, Sinaloa, Sonora, and the two Californias. This territory eventually became a separate, distinct administrative unit of colonial Spanish America.
