*Those executed

A fearless soldier, ruthless in his methods, and

avowedly anticlerical, Rosas entered New Mexico

[in the spring of 1637] with two objectives: to place

civil government and secular authority on a

superior footing, and to profit from his governorship

—Gutierrez, When Jesus Came the Corn Mothers Went Away

The precise chronology of events [regarding the

Rosas affair] from mid-1639 to mid-1641 is

impossible to establish from conflicting testimony . . .
