Aftermath of the July 1781 Yuma (Colorado River) Revolt — Cayetano Limón's expedition. Fragmentary, hard hand: Alférez Cayetano Limón, on an *expediente*, 'encontró la Concepción en ruinas, puesta la plaza de gente muerta á palos y quemada' (found [Misión Purísima] Concepción in ruins, the place full of people clubbed to death & burned); was attacked by the Indians; mentions 'su hijo el soldado Cayetano Limón.' ⚠️ *I'm inferring* this concerns the July 1781 Yuma Revolt (destruction of the Colorado missions & killing of Rivera y Moncada + the colonists) and Limón's relief/ransom expedition — to verify against the fuller text. Orig. pp.115–116.
