Description
Twenty-two reports on the campaign to capture the leader of a group of Africans in the remote area of Guachinango. The Africans were led by "Felipe, ganga," a native African. The insurrection ended in February 1833 with the capture of Felipe, some of his followers, and an arsenal. He was tried with seven others, though their fate is not specified.
