The idea
The Pueblo Revolt of sixteen eighty, also called Popé's Rebellion, drove the Spanish from what is now New Mexico. The witness counts four hundred Spaniards killed and two thousand settlers expelled. Popé, seized in sixteen seventy and tried for sorcery, organized it after his release.
In practice
Four hundred dead, two thousand driven out.
Where people slip
Figures the witness's; the letters tell one side.
