In January of 1847, a Mexican uprising in Taos resulted in the death of Gov. C. Bent and others. A force under Col. Sterling Price marched from Santa Fe where he routed the rebels at La Canada, El Embudo and Taos, ultimately capturing and taking most of them as prisoners. Later skirmishes took place at La Cuesta, Las Vegas and Cienega near Taos. The lot of three maps include "Sketch accompanying Col. Price Despatch" showing the Pueblo de Taos, not dated (11.5 x 9.5), "Sketch accompanying Col.
