from Journey of Coronado · host Pedro de Castañeda
In 1540, Francisco Vásquez de Coronado embarked on an epic expedition from Mexico, driven by the quest for the legendary golden cities of Cíbola. Instead of treasures, the Spaniards encountered breathtaking landscapes, including the majestic Grand Canyon, expansive buffalo plains, and the intricate pueblos of Zuni and Pecos. This volume brings to life the gripping first-hand narratives of the Coronado expedition, translated from Spanish by George Parker Winship. The primary account is penned by Pedro de Castañeda, a soldier who witnessed the journey firsthand. Additionally, it features letters from Coronado addressed to the viceroy of Mexico and the Spanish king, providing a rich tapestry of adventure and exploration. (Summary by Sue Anderson)
