Mayo. Los Pueblos del Rio de Memorial presentado por los Indios de la Nacion del Rio de Mayo
- Description
- The collection consists of letters, documents, and one map (all in Spanish) which are papers assembled in 1794 for the Conde de Revilla Gigedo. It consists mostly of official correspondence (1765-72) between Gálvez and the successive viceroys of Mexico. They deal with the organization of the expeditions sent to San Diego and Monterey to occupy California, the efforts to enlarge the frontiers of New Spain and subdue the Indians in Sonora and Sinaloa, and the removal of the Jesuit missionaries from Lower California
