<p>[QUOTE="Debora, post: 11687904, member: 1476"]The name was misspelled. Mantonelle isn't a Spanish name but Martorell is. Specifically, it's Catalan. (Claro means "clear" or "bright", by way, and it's an uncommon first name.) I would think possible the recipient of your <i>riata</i> was part of the Meigs expedition as it happened in May 1926. The mission had long been a ruin by that time. Much of Meigs UCSD archive is online.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://libraries.ucsd.edu/speccoll/findingaids/mss0530.html#header" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://libraries.ucsd.edu/speccoll/findingaids/mss0530.html#header" rel="nofollow">https://libraries.ucsd.edu/speccoll/findingaids/mss0530.html#header</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Debora[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
