The San Saba Papers: A Documentary Account of the Founding and Destruction of San Saba Mission


Overview

Originally published in 1959, this volume contains letters, depositions, petitions, and personal statements detailing the massacre of the San Saba Apache Mission by the Comanches on March 16, 1758. With the destruction of the San Saba Mission, plans to connect San Antonio to Santa Fe with a chain of missions came to an end. This firsthand material includes the justification for the defeat of the Mission compiled by its reluctant commandant, Colonel Diego Ortiz Parrilla.
