The Spanish Southwest: The Pueblo Revolt of 1680 or the First True American Revolution

This episode of the American Southwest Podcast is the 2nd in the series about the Spanish and the Native American inhabitants of the region and specifically about the Pueblo Revolt of 1680. I discuss Popay, Poseyemu, Otermín, the revolution, and the first few Spanish attempts at retaking the territory. It's chock full of great stuff about everyone involved using as much of the record that's been preserved for us.
