New Mexico's First Spanish Expedition and Acoma Siege
The 1598 expedition led by Offate reached the Rio Grande near El Paso and crossed Jornada del Muerto advancing into present day New Mexico. Acoma Pueblo resisted, yielding a brutal punitive siege where 700 Natives were killed, 500 captured, and a harsh indenture system imposed on survivors.

Punitive Raids and Colony Struggles Among Hopi and Jumano
The article recounts punitive actions against Hopi at Acoma with amputation, notes escapades of captives, and details Ofiate’s harsh revenge after his nephew’s death. It mentions a late 16th to early 17th century setting near Gran Quivira and the failing colonists under Ofiate, who resigned and retreated to Mexico in 1607. It also references historical remarks by Myra Ellen Jenkins and unrelated notes about Cromwell and Spenser.
