Spanish Colonial History with Dr. Joseph P. Sánchez
Please join the Hispanic Genealogical Research Center as we welcome historian Dr. Joseph P. Sánchez, former Director of the Spanish Colonial Research Center at the University of New Mexico.
Topic: The Louisiana Purchase of 1804 and New Mexico’s Disputed Border
Dr. Sánchez will explore how modern-day northeastern New Mexico fell within the historical watershed parameters of the Louisiana Purchase—a territorial claim hotly contested by Spain until the Adams-Onís Treaty of 1819.
