Excerpt from Hero Patriots of the Nineteenth Century
In a rapid survey of guerilla work we note that in June, 1809, Mina, the student, was active in the region between Tudela and Pampeluna. The people Of the high Pyrenean valleys of Roncal, Salazar, Anso, and Echo, took arms under Renovales. This Officer, captured at Saragossa, had broken his parole, but he pleaded a previous breach Of the capitulation. His chief post was the convent Of San Juan de la Pena, built upon a rock remarkable in Spanish history as a place Of refuge maintained with success against the Moorish conquerors. The bodies of twenty-two kings of Aragon rested there, and the Aragonese fondly believed it impregnable. There were twenty thousand armed men in the various bands of this region, who at Once set to work in cutting Off isolated men, intercepting couriers and convoys, and attacking detach ments Of the French army. The student Mina, after keeping Navarre in commotion by hardy and sudden enterprises, was ultimately captured by the Skilful and energetic French general, Suchet, and was succeeded, as we have seen, by his uncle Espoz y Mina.
