Ancient Cibola: The Marvellous Country (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781270755890)

"Ancient Cibola: The Marvellous Country" recounts Samuel Woodworth Cozzens's expeditions through the southwestern United States. The book details the landscapes, inhabitants, and historical context of the region. Cozzens vividly describes the physical environment, from deserts to mountains, and provides insights into the cultures and traditions of the Native American tribes he encountered. The author explores the legends surrounding the mythical Seven Cities of Cibola, contributing to the allure and mystique of the American Southwest during the period of westward expansion.

Cozzens's narrative offers a valuable glimpse into the 19th-century perception of the region, blending travelogue, adventure, and historical observation. It remains a compelling read for those interested in the history of the American West and the exploration of its uncharted territories.
