| | 683 | Author: | Barbastro, Francisco Antonio, 1734-1800. | Requires cookie* | | | Title: | Carta al Virrey Conde de Revillagigedo
1793-1794 ead | | | | Date(s): | 1793-1794 | | | | Abstract: | Collection contains a photocopy of typed transcription of a letter report that Francisco Antonio Barbastro wrote to the Viceroy Count de Revillagigedo,
from the Aconchi Mission, and completed on December 1, 1793. It was apparently sent first to his guardian superior at the Querétaro College, Father Juan
Francisco Rivera, because Rivera added his addendum to the Viceroy, dated January 21, 1794. Barbastro's 48-page report first discusses conditions
in Sonora: the geography, the missions and towns, the temporal state, the spiritual state, and Indian industries. The most substantial section follows
and concerns the secularization of the missions. | | | | Repository: | University of Arizona Libraries, Special Collections | | | | Subjects: | Indians of Mexico -- Mexico -- Sonora (State) -- History -- 18th century. | Missionaries -- Mexico -- Sonora (State) | Missions -- Mexico -- Sonora (State) -- History -- 18th century. | Piman Indians -- Missions -- History -- 18th century. | | | | Similar Items: | Find Similar Guides |
