The Journey of Coronado, 1540-1542 is a historical account of the expedition led by Spanish conquistador Francisco de Coronado. The book describes the journey from the City of Mexico to the Grand Canyon of the Colorado and the Buffalo Plains of Texas, Kansas, and Nebraska. The expedition was undertaken with the goal of finding the Seven Cities of Gold, but instead, the explorers encountered various Native American tribes and their cultures. The book provides a detailed account of the interactions between the Spanish and the Native Americans, as well as the challenges faced by the expedition, including harsh weather conditions, food shortages, and conflicts with the indigenous peoples. The author, Francisco de Coronado, was the leader of the expedition and provides a first-hand account of the journey. The book is an important historical document that sheds light on the early exploration of North America by Europeans and the impact it had on the indigenous populations.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
