Excerpt from The Jumano Indians in Texas, 1650-1771 In October, 1693, Texas was abandoned by the Spaniards, and until 1716 they had relatively slight contact with the province. But even during that period we get glimpses of the Jumano in the south. At the time of the withdrawal, Joseph de Urrutia was left wounded among the Cantona, Indians of the lower Colorado. In later years, when captain at San Antonio, he declared that in the course of the seven years during which he remained among the Indians he became their capitan grande, leading the allies against the Apache, sometimes with or Indians, and others with more, of the nations where I was and of the Pelones and J umanes.2 This traces the tribe till 1700. In 1706 we hear of an J uman Indian at Monclova, south of the Rio Grande, giving testimony3 based on information gained from an Indian of the Timamar tribe, that is a tribe living near the Rio Grande, implying that the J man had probably been in that region?
