Drums along the Platte River 1720
Description: Antonio Valverde y Cosío, governor of the Spanish colony of Nuevo México based in Santa Fe, ordered Villasur to capture French traders on the plains. Villasur left Santa Fe on June 16, 1720, leading an expedition that included 50 Presidio Soldiers (leather shirts), 80 Pueblo Native auxiliaries, a priest, a Spanish trader, and approximately 12 Apache guides, who were tribal enemies of the Pawnee. Scout leader José Naranjo a Hopi mestizo native led the way.
The expedition made its way northeast through Spanish crown territory and settlements now known as Colorado, Kansas, and Nebraska. In August, they made contact with the Pawnee and Otoe along the Platte and Loup rivers. Villasur made several attempts to negotiate with Indians in the area, using Francisco Sistaca, a Pawnee held as a slave, to translate. On August 13, Sistaca disappeared from camp. Villasur camped that night just south of the Loup–Platte confluence near present-day Columbus, Nebraska, nervous about the possibility of attack and the increasing number and belligerence of the Pawnee and Otoe Indians.
The next morning, while the Spanish slept the Pawnee and Otoes with the French Cour du bois allies attacked... Can you survive as the Spanish or will you celebrate your victory with Spanish scalps?
