Conquistador General Don Diego de Vargas led hundreds of Spanish pioneers in New Mexico after the 1680 Indian Revolt. This book charts military conflicts with Native Americans that ultimately brought peace and prosperity, and names early settlers and families. Two land grants were awarded to the author's ancestor by the Spanish crown.
