Mission San Ambrosio del Búsanic y Tucubavia
(Redirected from Búsanic)
San Ambrosio del Búsanic y Tucubavia was a Spanish mission in the Sonoran desert.
History
[edit]Búsanic was founded around 1690. Jesuit missionary Eusebio Kino visited in 1790 and in 1796.[1]
Ciprián, the son of Luis Oacpicagigua, raided Búsanic in 1759.[2]
By the 1760s, Búsanic was a visita of Mission Santa Gertrudis del Sáric. It was abandoned by 1766 due to ongoing Apache raids, although the Franciscan missionary Juan Agorreta was nominally stationed there in 1768.[3]
