Abstract:With the conquest of New Mexico in 1598, Spanish governors, soldiers, and missionaries began their brutal subjugation of the Pueblo Indians in what is today the Southwestern United States. In the summer of 1680, led by a visionary shaman named Popé, the Puebloans revolted. Before then the many different Pueblo villages had never acted in concert (and never would again). Now, in total secrecy they coordinated an attack, routing the rulers in Santa Fe. Every Spaniard was driven from the Pueblo homeland--the only time in North American history that conquering Europeans were thoroughly expelled from Indian territory. Yet more than three centuries later, crucial questions remain unanswered: How did Popé succeed, and what happened between 1680 and 1692, when a new Spanish force reconquered the Pueblo peoples with relative ease? --From publisher description.
