Isn't that the fellow whose statue in on the Interstate north of Santa Clara, CA? I've read a lot of stories about him. He was a robust fellow, alright, for better or worse depending on whether you were an Indian on not. LOL

The Spanish missionaries have been somewhat mischaracterized by indian lobbyists. But their roughanded efforts to convert and assimilate the indian were still better than the Anglo method of military conquest and eradication. You may or may not have noticed that most Mexicans have indian complexions.
