Summary:Over a period of four years, they generated more than two hundred documents related to events before and during the rebellion-a body of autos (judicial or administrative decrees), testimonies, military orders, short notes, and internal correspondence that calls attention not only to the Spanish Crown's tenuous control over the area, but also to the strength of the hostility that existed between missionaries and Spanish authorities over governance of the Pima population (Ewing 1934; Kessell 1970). [...]I would like to express my appreciation to the National Historical Publications and Records Commission, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the Southwestern Foundation for Education and Historical Preservation for their support of the O'odham-Pee Posh Documentary History Project.
