For some reason, this reminds me of Beauty & The Beast. She is a prisoner to this man, even though he gives her everything she wishes while in the house.

Montraville had placed her
He placed her in a house like a man places a trophy on a mantle... shocking...

launced by Doctor Prescot, and several Gallons of Corruption ran out of it.
Disgusting imagery. Sores and bodily liquids and uugghh... Also, humans only have about 1.5 gallons of blood in their body, so that sore must've been HUGE.

About a mile we went that night, up upon a hill within sight of the town, where they intended to lodge.

they fell upon their knees & blessed ye God of heaven
After all of the bad omens sent their way, they still praise God for bringing them safe passage? What about all of the men on the ships that risked their lives to get them there?

Well, about this time the Strap Clan were ruling at Shung-opovi and they were the ones that gave permission to establish the mission.
Very interesting to see a bit of territorial dominance between the natives.

because the casas reales were poorly defended
They have had how long to request suitable defenses/ create more? Idiots...
-
As I learned that one of the Indians who was leading them was from the villa and had gone to join them shortly before
Not surprised that a native defected from Spanish life. That is like an American living in Vietnam during the Vietnam War and seeing the atrocities that they commit to american people.
-
we might endeavor to defend ourselves against the enemy’s invasions.
A lot of these "invasions" are taking place in the natives own pueblo's. They aren't so much invading as pushing out their own invaders. However, I don't think this side will say that.
-
for it had been a long time since they had done us any considerable damage.
Something like this had almost happened before? Doesn't that go to show that the natives weren't happy?
-
maese de campo
Interesting that the narrator had to send letters through a high ranking officer. Makes me wonder if they were scanning the letters.

who thus covered themselves that we might not get sight of them, and others were on the fallen timbers.
Very interesting use of the surroundings to aid them in their guerrilla warfare. Were the fallen logs actually in the lake? a little confused about how the natives were on them, because if they were, the colonists could have easily attacked them.
-
and at- tacked us with such promptness and alacrity that they succeeded in setting tire to the houses in which we were.

I found the people black and the land very much burnt; and when after that I went to the Cape Verde Islands I found the people there very much darker still, and the more southward we went, the more they approach the extreme of blackness; so that when I reached the parallel of Sierra Leone, where, as night came on, the North star rose five degrees, the people there were excessively black, and as I sailed westward the heat became extreme.
This is very interesting to me. He starts out talking about his journey and his hope to find truths about the land, but all I see here is how concerned he is about the color of these other peoples skin. Definitely some weird undertones here to me.

there is a mine of gold
BINGO.

I cannot fail, with the help of our Lord, to find the place which produces it.
So God is going to help you find these tangible goods? hmm....

Continued their course west and sailed twenty-five leagues; reckoned to the crew twenty.
a little confused here... why is he telling the crew that they sailed less than they actually have? Are they afraid of going over a certain distance?

And she arose and went her way into the woods and up the mountain, and was seen on earth no more.
Possibly an ascendance of some kind?

Then she reappeared, bearing a babe, a beautiful child, but his little eyebrows were of stone.
This is similar to God creating a child with Mary. Is this a very popular way of creating children back then?

Then my suffering stopped.
How could this hallucinogenic cactus create such an intense following? It seems to me that this cult was created to feed an addiction, both to these intense experiences, as well as the fruit itself.

The latter, called by Rave the shepherd’s crook, is always covered with beadwork, and generally has a number of evenly cut tufts of deer hair on the end and at intervals along its length.
Mixing a symbolic christian idea, the shepherd's crook, with other symbolic, more natural dressings.
-
These generally arise and deliver self-accusatory speeches, and make more or less formal confessions
Much more public displays of self-punishment than modern day religions, such as one on one confessions.
-
in a building called by the Peyote worshipers a church
Very interesting, as the word church is more commonly used by Christians. How might this building look as opposed to a "traditional" one?

THE FIRST BATTLE WITH THE WHITES
This is a very interesting story that could potentially be added to our class curriculum. This story is one of many that show just how brutal some of the first encounters between the Native Americans and the "Whites" were. #psuamlit
-
When they discovered so many Whites killed on the mountains, the Cochiti Indians went up and brought their bodies down to the church to bury them.
Regardless of how their battle ended, the native people still believed that the invaders be buried with honor instead of left to decay. #psuamlit
-
My grandmother peeped through the window to see the pile of dead people, white as snow. She did not know what they could be
These foreign bodies seem alien-like to the grandmother. She has never seen someone with white skin before. #firstcontact #psuamlit
-
they fell on their knees and begged to be friends.
This was a very interesting view of the relationship between the Cochiti people and the invaders. The childish perspective makes it seem as if this battle was over friendship. Clearly there is more these invaders want from the native people than just friendship. #psuamlit
-
They fought bare handed. It was a great fight.
The Cochiti people value bare strength over anything else. #psuamlit
-
When they were ready they closed in on all sides upon the Whites. Before they knew it, the Indians had surrounded them.
Guerrilla vs. Conventional Warfare #psuamlit
-
The Indians on the west side put up a red flag on a pole to say that they would rather have the battle than be friends.
The Indians have no use for the Whites. They see them solely as invaders on their land. #psuamlit
-
They lined up for battle at the river; on the west side the Indians with bows and arrows and war clubs, and on the east side the Whites with guns and spears. When the battle was over the Whites on the east side put up a white flag on a pole to say that they would be friends.
Testing the Cochiti Indian's strength? If they had guns and spears, they could have easily overpowered the Indians from the start. The idea of first contact is prevalent, as they are testing each other. #psuamlit
