Summary:

Herbert Eugene Bolton, who was well-known for his books on the Southwest and Spanish Americas, here recounts in detail Francisco Vasquez de Coronado's sixteenth-century entrada to the North American frontier of the Spanish Empire. In retracing Coronado's route, Professor Bolton--with access to new information--was able to relive the experiences of the original exploration. Originally published in 1949, he brings fresh insight and profound knowledge to CORONADO: Knight of Pueblos and Plains. "Thoroughly documented, this tells of the search for El Dorado, the preliminary explorations of Fray Marcos seeking the Seven Cities of Cibola, Alarcon's voyage, the discovery of the Colorado, the explorations of Coronado and his lieutenants...Then there are Coronado's later years as governor of Nueva Galicia, his trial and acquittal."--Kirkus Review
