Revolt of the Pueblo Indians of New, Mexico in 1680 129
mingo,1 collecting the men, women, and children whom they
found alive. Without sparing the time to take anything at all
from the houses, by much effort and by literally "dragging them-
selves and the women and children along" in their haste, the
stragglers later in the day reached Isleta,2 the large Tigua pueblo
which did not take part in the general revolt against the Span-
iards.3 The number of settlers who were finally able to assemble
in Isleta, including seven missionaries,4 was approximately fifteen
hundred. Of these there were only one hundred and twenty men
capable of bearing arms," and these were poorly equipped, the
Indians having possessed themselves of more than two hundred
firearms and a large quantity of ammunition.
The total number killed, as reported by Garcia, was one hun-
dred and twenty,7 or less than one-third of the total number killed
throughout the whole province. These must have been for the
most part inhabitants of Rio Abajo, though some accounted for
by him were settlers of Santo Domingo and of other northern
jurisdictions. In the vicinity of Sandia, which was the real center
of the revolt in Rio Abajo, the slaughter must have been terrible,
for this was one of the most thickly settled districts in the whole
province, mention being made in the documents of seventeen
haciendas and estancias on one side of the river alone from Ala-
meda to the estancia of Juan Dominguez, three leagues below that
pueblo., All of these were completely devastated by the Indians,
and from many of them none of the settlers escaped.
