Synopsis "Transcriptions of documents related to the foundation of government-sponsored colonies in Santa Marta prov.: the short-lived San Sebastiâan de Râabago, authorized by Viceroy Jose Alonso Pizarro in March 1750, and the more successful San Carlos de San Sebastiâan, ordered established by Charles III in 1786 and implemented by Viceroy Antonio Caballero y Gâongora in 1787. Both efforts to expand the permanent Spanish presence in Santa Marta reflect Bourbon activism, while the latter also illustrated Enlightenment experimentation, as the new colonists included a group from Philadelphia"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
