Auttos tocantes, 22. The original sources for the events here recorded are a series of autos signed by García and the different men who expressed their opinions concerning his plans. All these autos, with the exception of that of Luis de Granillo, and the last one of García, were written “en el pueblo del socorro en Veinte y quatro dias del mes de agosto de mil y seis cientes y ochenta anos.” The last two in question, however, were written “en este paraje enfrente del pueblo del socorro en veinte y seis dias del mes de agosto.” It thus appears that García did not record his answer to the opinions expressed by his officers until the second day following the council, at which time the pueblo of Socorro had already been abandoned.
