Example Sentences
- "In 1695, Fray José Díez, on loan to New Mexico from the Franciscan missionary college at Querétaro, superintended construction of Tesuque's first post-Revolt church. It survived the renewed uprising of 1696 because the majority of Tesuques, for their own good reasons, remained loyal to Diego de Vargas. Classed as small in 1706 and served by the missionary at Nambé, this church had deteriorated badly by 1745 when Fray Francisco de la Concepción González, a luckless Spaniard from Santander, had to rebuild it. The project did not go well."
