The people who knew him a century ago in New Mexico called him El Lioncito. He earned this name in countless battles with Navajos, Utes, and Apaches, leaving little doubt that he was one of the best Indian fighters produced in the Southwest. Born at the end of the Spanish Colonial Period, he grew up in the Mexican period, and spent his mature years under the territorial regime established by the U.S. He was one of those rare individuals who was involved in almost every major historical event during his lifetime. Yet, as often happens, his name has been virtually forgotten. NOTE. THIS IS OUR LAST COPY AND HAS A BUMP ON ThE UPPER CORNER-REDUCED. Priced at $ 10.00. Chicago, 1973, 1st Ed., 1st Pr.

THE TEPEHUAN REVOLT OF 1616
Author: Charlotte M. Gradie
Price: $25.00
Shipping: $3.25
The Tepehuan Indians, previously known for their bellicosity, had been considered pacified by 1590, with many congregating in Jesuit missions. On November 16, 1616 a wagon train traveling to Mexico City was attacked by the Tepehuanes just outside Santa Catalina de los Tepehuanes, a small Jesuit village in the eastern foothills of the Western Sisrra Madre. Thus began what Jesuit historian Andrés Pérez de Ribas called "one of the greatest outbreaks of disorder, upheaval,and destruction that had been seen in New Spain...since the Conquest." Before it was finished, over 200 Spaniards, 10 missionaries and 4,000 Tepehuanes died with destruction to property valued at as much as a million pesos.
