Meanwhile, what was going on in and around Santa Fe? Not a single eyewitness account of the immediate aftermath of the expulsion of the Europeans exists in the Spanish record. This has not kept romantic historians from trying to re-create the orgiastic scenes of liberation that must have ensued.
In The Pueblo Revolt (1970), for instance, Robert Silverberg paints a lurid picture of Popé becoming, as it were, more Spanish than the Spanish:
He took up residence in Santa Fe, moving into the adobe palace so lately occupied by Governor OtermÃn. Donning a fantastic outfit of gaudy-hued robes, and wearing a bullâs horn on his forehead as a symbol of his power, Popé strutted and capered through the white manâs capital, demanding that his subjects bow to him precisely as though he had succeeded to OtermÃnâs rank and grandeur. Sometimes he even climbed into OtermÃnâs old carriage of state and had himself drawn through the streets of the city.
