 of the Rio Grande, a few miles below El 

 Paso, Tex. It was established in 1681 by 

 some 400 Indian captives from Isleta, N. 

 Mex., taken thence by Gov. Otermin on 

 his return from the attempted reconquest 

 of the Pueblos after their revolt in Aug., 

 1680. It was the seat of a Franciscan 

 mission from 1682, containing a church 

 dedicated to San Antonio de Padua. The 

 mission name San Antonio applied to

 Isleta until its abandonment in conse- 

 quence of the revolt^nd when the latter 

 was resettled in 170^r 1718, the mission 

 was named San Agustin de la Isleta. The 

 few inhabitants of Isleta del Sur are now
