Journey of Coronado
by Pedro de Castañeda
In 1540, Francisco Vásquez de Coronado embarked on an ambitious quest from Mexico, driven by tales of the legendary golden cities of Cíbola. Instead of riches, his expedition uncovered the stunning Grand Canyon, sprawling buffalo plains, and the unique pueblos of Zuni and Pecos. This captivating volume presents first-hand accounts from those who journeyed with Coronado—raw, gripping, and deeply stirring, translated from Spanish by George Parker Winship. The heart of the narrative comes from Pedro de Castañeda, a soldier in Coronado’s ranks, alongside revealing letters from Coronado to the viceroy of Mexico and the Spanish king. Join us as we explore this extraordinary chapter in history. (Summary by Sue Anderson)
