Two days after the caravan left for Apalache, Montiano sent Arredondo, Lamberto and Portillo to Apalache.* Lamberto took his troops and a band of Indians with him.* Arredondo’s job was to choose the best spot to build homes for the families that would move there.* He was to get the homes built as quickly as possible so the families could move in before the English beat them to it or tried to sabotage the project.*
