Book Synopsis The Almadas and Alamos, 1783-1867 by : Albert Stagg
Book excerpt: Antonio Roque Juan Almada (1761-1810) immigrated in 1782 from Spain to Alamos, Sonora with his maternal uncle and godfather, Friar Antonio de los Reyes, and a brother (José Antonio Juan Almada, a newly ordained priest). Antonio became a manager in the local mines, making several reforms, and a landowner. He married María Lucila de la Luz in 1784. Descendants and relatives lived in Sonora, Chihuahua and elsewhere. Some immigrated to the United States. Includes the history of Yaqui uprisings, American filibuster attempts in Sonora, and the divisive influence of Emperor Maximilian and his French troops during the 1860s.
