Hello everyone, Nice Message Board!
I am here as I found some information I seek that was once posted here in this message board but cannot seem to find it, can any one help?
It was posted by Hardluck under the thread title "Tayopa" It read as follows....
"Henry O' Flipper did some extensive research into the mining camp Real of Our Lady of Tayopa. He allegedly found a Spanish document in 1911, dated 1646 titled "A true and positive description of the mining camp Real of Our Lady of Tayopa. By the Reverand Father Guardian Fray, Francisco Villegas Garsina y Orosco, Royal vicar General of the Royal and Distinguished Jesuit Order of Saint Ignacio. He gave a detailed inventory of mines and treasure.
Henry O' Flipper was unable to follow up on his research as he was transferred to South America.
in 1842 Indian hunters Captain James Hobbs and James Kirker claimed to have found an ancient abandoned village near the headwaters of the Yaqui river.
In 1927 C B Ruggles and the writer Frank Dobie was approached by a man called Custard that possessed documents copied from originals belonging to Father Domingo, the parish priest of Guadalupe de Santa Ana."I am looking for any information I can possibly find concerning "Tayopa" and or the document written by Fray, Francisco Villegas Garsina y Orosco. and any information as to the possible location of the setting or subject of the story.....
Thank You!
