Vicente de Zaldívar was an officer during the Spoanish conquest and colonization, under the command of his maternal uncle, Juan de Oñate. This statement of servicios rendered to the Crown provides biographical information on both Zaldívar and his father, and recounts historical events from Nueva Galicia to New Mexico. Of special interest is the account of Zaldívar’s 1601 punitive campaign against the Jumanos, a significant but hitherto obscure event in New Mexican colonial history.Description:
