Note 1437 — Chapter VII

Davis (The Spanish Conquest of New Mexico, p. 185, note) places Tiguex on the banks of the Rio Puerco; and General Simpson (Coronado’s March, p. 335), on the Rio Grande, below the Puerco. But Mr. Bandelier (Historical Introduction, pp. 20-22), from documentary evidence, places it higher up the Rio Grande, in the vicinity of Bernalillo; corresponding perfectly with the “central point” which Castañeda declared it to be (p. 182).
