Outlaw Pedro Nevarez operated in the mid 1600's in the Rio Grande River valley when the Spanish were still setting up missions along the Rio Grande River. His gang robbed many pack trains supplying these missions and churches with gold relics. He operated in what is today southern New Mexico. A couple accounts of the treasure details still survive today.
