After this paper had been written, Bandelier published his “Bibliographical Introduction” to a Documentary History of the Rio Grande Pueblos of New Mexico (Papers of the American School of Archaeology, Number Thirteen). In that paper he mentions in a general way documents in the archives of Mexico relating to the revolt of 1680, but gives no definite statement of their character. Bandelier (op. cit., p. 15) says that “we must remain more or less in the dark as to the conditions and the details of events prior to 1692.” From this we infer that he has not seen the many hundreds of pages of original documents in the Mexican archives dealing specifically with New Mexico between 1680 and 1692.
