a documentary history of his frontier inspection and the Reglamento de 1729
by Pedro de Rivera, Naylor, Thomas H., and Charles W. Polzer
The documents presented in this volume are Rivera's own official reports to the Viceroy of New Spain, the Marqués de Casafuerte, and conclude with the Reglamento de 1729. Riveras procedure was to compile reports showing the status of each presidio both at the time of inspection and after inspection, and what he recommended regarding the presidios' future organization and operation. There were 29 presidios at the time of Rivera's inspections.
Northern New Spain included parts of California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas, and all of Arizona and New Mexico. In Mexico it included parts of Aguacalientes, Jalisco, Nayarit, San Luis Potosi, and Zacatecas, and all of Coahuila, Chihuahua, Durango, Nuevo Leon, Sinaloa, Sonora, Tamaulipas, and Baja California Norte and Sur.
