The dramatic and tragic story of the only successful Native
American uprising against the Spanish, the Pueblo Revolt of 1680.
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. This oppression continued for decades,
until, in the summer of 1680, led by a visionary shaman named Pope, the
Puebloans revolted. In total secrecy they coordinated an attack, killing 401
settlers and soldiers and 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 today, more than three centuries later, crucial questions about the Pueblo
Revolt remain unanswered. How did Pope succeed in his brilliant plot? And what
happened in the Pueblo world between 1680 and 1692, when a new Spanish force
reconquered the Pueblo peoples with relative ease?
David Roberts set out to try to answer these questions and to bring this
remarkable historical episode to life. He visited Pueblo villages, talked with
Native American and Anglo historians, combed through archives, discovered
backcountry ruins, sought out the vivid rock art panels carved and painted by
Puebloans contemporary with the events, and pondered the existence of
centuries-old Spanish documents never seen by Anglos.
