La real historia de México

A compilation of documents in the collection of the Archivo General de la Nación in Mexico City. Dating from the end of 17th to the second half of the 18th century, they recount the period of the Jesuits in Sonora, as well as their expulsion and the enforcement of the Bourbonic laws. The documents detail the position of the Jesuit religious order with respect to colonization and the means they put into effect to organize indigenous populations of Sonora.
