PostSubject: Rodriguez-Chamuscado Missionary Expedition   Thu 07 Jun 2007, 1:04 am

June 6, 1581

On this day, the Rodriguez-Chamuscado Missionary Expedition began to move northward -- through Mexico -- toward the Rio Grande, present-day El Paso, and to points north and west .... likely passing through the Panhandle of Texas.
