viceroy dated July 31, 1696 (
Revolt
, pp. 257-80). The missionaries' point of view is given in custodian Francisco de Vargas's letter to the Franciscan guardian in El Paso dated July 21 (
Revolt
, pp. 246-57). Ye's murder is reported in Kessell,
Kiva, Cross, and Crown
, pp. 268-70; for the execution of the Pecos rebels, see p. 289; see also Kessell,
Ways and Words
, pp. 39-40. More on Caripicado can be found in Vargas's campaign journal (see Kessell, Hendricks, and Dodge,
Blood on the Boulders
, p. 1008).
Background information on the Bernal family comes from Chávez,
Origins
, p. 12. For background on the settlements of Bernalillo and Santa Cruz, see R. Julyan,
The Place Names of New Mexico

, pp. 844-45; see also Espinosa,
Revolt
, p. 278. The statement of José Naranjo's grandson can be found in Chávez,
Pohe-Yemo
, p. 107. Hendricks and Wilson (
Navajos in 1705
, pp. 118-20) have a thumbnail sketch of José Naranjo. It has occasionally been argued that there were two Naranjo families, and that the José who featured in the early post-Conquest military action was a Spaniard. Hendricks and Wilson (154) cite the unpublished genealogical manuscript of Epifanio Conrado Naranjo ("Naranjo," 1991, ms. in possession of R. Hendricks and J. P. Wilson) for this particular point of view. I have not had the chance to consult this work, but Fray Angelico Chávez's detailed analysis of the family in
Origins
and in
Pohé-yemo
does seem rather convincing. For a discussion of this controversy, see Kessell, Hendricks, and Dodge,
Blood on the Boulders
, pp. 953-54.

The Jicarilla Apaches: A Study in Survival
