1793 ead | | | | Date(s): | 1793 | | | | Abstract: | 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 signature, 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 |
