VITO ALESSIO ROBLES FRAY JUAN AGUSTIN DE MORFI Y SU OBRA Liminares de la edicion de la obra "Viaje de Indios y Diario del Nuevo Mexico" por Fray Juan Agustin de Morfi. MEXICO Antigua Libreria de Robredo de JOSB PORRUA E H1JOS Esq. Avenida Argentina y Guatemala 1935 A. del Bosque.—Itnpresor. Pensador Mexkano No. 18 C1UDAD DE MEXICO. NOT A DE LOS ED IT ORES En el IV volumen de la segnnda serie de las valiosas e in- teresantes ediciones de la benemerita Sociedad "Bibliofilos Me- xicanos" se incluyo el "Viaje de Indios y Diario del Naevo Mexico"9 escrito por fray Juan Agustin de Morfi en los anos de 1777 y 1778. Esta Libreria presenta una nueva edicion de la obra im- presa por los "Bibliofilos Mexicanos", habiendo recabado la de- bida autorizacion de los directores de la mencionada sociedad., don Genaro Estrada, don Joaquin Ramirez Cabanas y don Pe­ dro Robredo, y del senor ingeniero don Vito Alessio Robles, autor de la introduccion biobibliogrdfica y de las notas margi- nales, venias que fucron concedidas con toda gentileza. La impresion de esta magna obra de Morfi hecha en el fo- lletin del "Diario Oficial", a mediados del siglo pasado, esta plagada de errores y es de una rareza extraordinaria. Los "Bi­ bliofilos Mexicanos" hicieron una magnifica edicion privada de cincuenta ejentplares numerados y es imposible adquirir uno de estos. Estas circunstancias, la gran demanda del libro, tanto en Mexico como en el extranjero, y la importancia suma del brillante trabajo de Morfi, que recorrio en los albores del ul­ timo cuarto del siglo XVIII una gran porcion del territorio de la Nueva Espana, atravesando tierras que ahora pertenecen a los Estados de Mexico, Hidalgo, Queretaro, Guanajuato, Zacatecas, Durango, Coahuila y Texas, las que describio con acopio de da- tos geogrdficos, historicos y sociales, nos decidieron a llevar a cabo esta nueva edicion de una obra que, mejor que ninguna otra del acervo colonial, refleja maravillosamente el estado so­ cial y economico de Mexico en la centuria citada. La obra de fray Morfi, como en la edicion de los "Biblio- filos", va precedida por una introduccion escrita por el senor in- geniero Alessio Robles y acompanada con acotaciones del mis- mo historiador. La primera da a conocer la personalidad y las obras del citado padre Morfi y las segundas aclaran y comple- tan las jugosas noticias del ilustre franciscano. Hem os suprimido las apostillas que figuran en la edicion de los "Bibliofilos". Ellas contiencn solamente los nombrcs de los lugares en que se rendian las jornadas y la indicacion de las distancias y rumbos recorridos, datos que figuran en el texto de la obra. Hemos agregado un piano con la localizacion de las poblaciones, presidios y misiones en el rio San Antonio, en Te­ xas; otro del latifundio del capitdn don Francisco dc Urdinola propiedad que posteriormente qucdo en poder del marquesado de San Miguel de Aguayo; una relacion de los servicios del capitdn don Francisco de Urdinola; un censo de la provincia de Texas, formado en 1777, y un cemo de la jurisdiccion de Santiago del Saltillo, del ano de 1787. Los dos ultimas docu- mentos se publican por primera vez y el antepenultimo, aunque fue impreso en 1612, y lo cita y describe el bibliografo chileno don Jose Toribio Medina, que lo vio en el Archivo de Indios de Seznlla, y reproduce su descripcion el bibliografo norteame- ricano Henry R. Wagner; segun indicacion de estc ultimo, no fue encontrado en dicho archivo. ANTIGUA LIBRERIA ROBREDO DE JOSE PORRUA E H1J0S VIAJE E) INDIOS „ YDIARIODL «.% NVEVO MEXICO Por el Rev.

Av. Argentina MGuatemala 1935 La benemerita sociedad "Bibliofilos Mexicanos" me hizo el honroso encargo de preparar la reimpresion del "Viaje de In­ dios y Diario del Nuevo Mexico", escrito en los anos de 1777 y 1778 por el padre franciscano fray Juan Agustin de Morfi. Para ello tuvo en cuenta la indiscutible importancia de este do- cumento y el hecho de que la edicion incluida en el tomo I de la tercera serie de los "Documentos para la Historia de Mexi­ co", publicada en 1856 como folletin del "Diario Oficial", bajo la direction del sabio don Manuel Orozco y Berra, ademas de haberse vuelto rarisima, contiene graves y numerosos errores. He aprovechado para esta edicion una copia tomada cuida- dosamente del tomo III del ramo "Historia" del Archivo Ge­ neral de la (Nation, transcription que poseo desde hace catorce anos. Posteriormente, esta copia fue fielmente cotejada por don Luis G. Ceballos, Jefe de Paleografos del citado Archivo. Es bien sabido que el mencionado ramo de "Historia" con­ tiene mas de 500 voliimenes y que la parte medular y mas im- portante de esta valiosa serie la constituyen los treinta y dos primeros tomos, cuyo origen y formation merecen especial re- ferencia. En Espana se tuvo el proyecto a fines del siglo XVIII de preparar una historia general de las Indias y se encomendo la tarea a don Juan Bautista Munoz. J En 1780, el gobierno espa- 1 Historiador espafiol. Carlos III lo nombro cosmografo de las Indias y oficial de la Secretaria de Estado de las Indias, encargandole en 1779 que 12 VITO ALESSIO ROBLES fiol ordeno al virrey don Martin de Mayorga 2 la remision de los documentos de Veytia 3 y Boturini, 4 asi como la de otros manuscritos historicos que pudieran encontrarse en la Univer- sidad de Mexico y en diversos archivos. Cumplida esta orden en 1783, en el afio siguiente llego una nueva para el envio de todos los documentos citados en la obra de Clavigero, 5 "Storia Antica del Messico". El virrey Flores 6 envio a Espana en 1788 parte de las obras de fray Antonio Tello 7 y del padre Morfi y algunos documentos- de la coleccion de Boturini. Las autoridades coloniales de Mexico recibieron nueva or­ den, fechada en 21 de febrero de 1790, para que enviasen a Espana copias de los documentos faltantes de Boturini y de otros manuscritos monumentales, cuya lista se incluia. En es­ ta se senalaban el final de la "Historia de Texas" por Morfi y el "Viaje de Indios y Diario del Nuevo Mexico" por el mis- mo franciscano. Ademas se pedian copias de los manuscritos que pudieran utilizarse para el estudio de las antigiiedades, la geografia y la historia civil, eclesiastica y natural de America. Con motivo de esta ultima orden, el virrey Revilla Gigedo 8 ordeno a fray Francisco Garcia Figueroa, 9 del convento de San Francisco de Mexico, que se copiasen bajo su direction los documentos que despues formaron los prirneros treinta y escribiese la historia de los descubrimientos y conquistas de los espanoles en America. Solo se publico el primer tomo de su "Historia del Nuevo Mundo", (Madrid, 1793), que comprende la historia de America hasta 1500. 2 47o. virrey de Nueva Espana, la que goberno desde 23 de agosto de 1779 hasta 28 de abril de 1783. 3 Mariano Veytia, ilustre historiador poblano.

Scholarship appearing in the last decade has revealed the aWesome scope of this participation—involving hundreds of thousands of Indian allies—and cast critical light on their motiVations and experiences. NeVertheless this Work has remained restricted to central Mexico and areas south, while the region known as the Greater SouthWest, encompassing northern Mexico and the U.S. Southwest, has been largely ignored. This dissertation traces the moVements of Indians from central Mexico, especially Nahuas, into this region during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and charts their experiences as diasporic peoples under colonialism using sources they Wrote in their oWn language (Nahuatl). Their activities as laborers, soldiers, settlers, and agents of acculturation largely enabled colonial expansion in the region. However their exploits are too frequently cast as contributions to an overarching Spanish colonial project.

Hickerson Spanish withdrawal and retrenchment, 1694-1709 The first Spanish missionary effort in East Texa~ began in 1690 with the arrival of a small party that left among the Hasinai Indians three Franciscan priests, accompanied by three soldiers. L The missioniz.ation of the Hasinai was undertaken as a reaction to the occupation of the Texas Gulf coast by the French explorer Rene Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle during the 16ROs. Despite an optimistic beginning, the Spaniards were forced to abandon their mission only three years later when the hostility of the Hasinai compelled them to flee. The Hasinai, who initially welcomed the Europeans, had suffered a series of severe epidemics for which they correctly blamed the Spaniards. They were further angered by the priests' persistent attempts to convert them to Catholicism, as well as the failure of the Spanish soldiers to aid them in battles against the Apaches and other enemies.-' After the retreat from the East Texas mission in 1693, the Spanish had little direct documented contact with the Hasinai for more than two decades.

XXXIII JULY, 1958 NO.3 ADRIAN WOLL: FRENCHMAN IN THE MEXICAN MILITARY SERVICE By JOSEPH MILTON NANCE* HIS is a biographical sketch of a rather prominent and T influential "soldier of fortune" whose integrity, honesty, attention to duty, and gentlemanly conduct most Texans of the days of the Republic respected, even if they disliked the government he so often represented. Adrian Won was born a Frenchman on December 2, 1795, in St. Germain-en-Laye, near Paris, and educated for the military profession. He served under the First Empire as a lieutenant of a regiment of lancers of the imperial guard.1 Since his regiment was composed largely of Poles, won has sometimes mistakenly been represented as being of Polish nationality. In 1815 he was captain adjutant major in the 10th Legion of the National Guard of the Seine.2 Upon the restoration of the Bourbons in France, won went to New York, thence to Baltimore, Maryland, with letters of intro­ duction to General Winfield Scott who befriended him and, no doubt, pointed out to him the wonderful opportunities offered by the revolutionary disturbances in Mexico to a young man of energy, skilled in the arts of a soldier.

  • Two Manuscript Maps of Nuevo Santander in Northern New Spain from the Eighteenth Century
    TWO MANUSCRIPT MAPS OF NUEVO SANTANDER IN NORTHERN NEW SPAIN FROM THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY DENNIS REINHARTZ IN the eighteenth century, through the occupation of Texas and Alta California and for a time parts of Louisiana and even the western side of Vancouver Island on Nootka Sound, the Spanish Empire in North America and with it Spain's imperial expansion globally attained its greatest geographical extent.^ After a brief five-year occupation, the deliberate abandonment of Vancouver Island in 1795, largely as a result of compelling British finesse, initiated the retreat of the Spanish Empire that was soon to be dynamically accelerated by the revolutions and independence of the new Latin American states from Terra del Fuego to northern California and the Pecos and the Red Rivers in 1808-24. Nevertheless, the earlier advance of the frontier of New Spain further to the north and northeast was of particular and lasting importance. The Spanish-Mexican era still accounts for over half of the history of European presence in Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, and California, and its heritage continues to be a vital part of the cultural identity and diversity of the North American Greater Southwest. Especially in the north. New Spain was a vast, vaguely delineated, underdeveloped and underpopulated region.^ With the opening up of the extensive Chihuahuan silver mines and under the rational modernization of empire of the new Bourbon dynasty, the eighteenth century was a period of population growth, restructuring, and reform for New Spain, but with the allocation of only relatively meagre resources. In Madrid and Mexico City by the late seventeenth century the colonies along the northern frontier of New Spain had been adjudged as defensive and non-profitable.
