Talk:José de Gálvez, 1st Marquess of Sonora

Spanish Borderlands
Jose de Galvez was the most significant person in the history of the spanish borderlands. He was REALLY important. This article on him really drops the ball. The info on him is definitely not organized very well with some of the info being wrong. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Willmount (talk • contribs) 21:54, 11 December 2013 (UTC)

Minister of the Indies?
We need some further historical investigation and sourcing here. I changed the text "appointed Minister of the Indies" to "appointed to the Council of the Indies, and added a source for that wording. The "minister" wording may have come from an unsourced sentence in Bourbon Reforms: "Under Charles III colonial matters were concentrated in a single ministry, which took powers away from the Council of the Indies." I found no mention of this action in Charles III of Spain or in Council of the Indies. However, the source I cited is pretty old (1916), and only mentioned the Council appointment briefly, so a more recent and/or thorough source might clarify further.
