Biographical / Historical

Diego de Vargas was the Spanish governor of New Mexico. He was sent by the King of Spain in 1691 to conquer and resettle New Mexico for Spain after a Pueblo revolt in 1680 had driven the Spanish settlers away. He suppressed another Pueblo revolt in 1696 and led a campaign against the Apache Indians in 1704.
