  • De Soto was not the only explorer who was intrigued by Cabeza de Vaca's travels. Francisco de Coronado was interested in the American southwest based on Cabeza de Vaca's travels. Before forming an expedition, he sent a friar and a Moroccan to explore the area. Based on that journey, Coronado would amass a large group of Spaniards and natives to seek treasure.

    Awesome video! I’m working on my family genealogy, and one horseman that accompanied Coronado maybe a relative, or at least we share the same surname. Been reading about this all afternoon, so I recommend the following: A Most Splendid Company by Shirley and Richard Flint’s analytical history, and Spanish Explorations of the Southwest by H. E. Bolton, both are free downloads. Thanks for your video! : )

      Nice! The writer, Pedro de Castañeda, who accompanied Coronado, is my 15th great-grandfather! Pretty fun coincidence that we are the exact same number of generations from our connected ancestors.

    Fun fact: the reason foreigners thought the tribes had gold, was because the adobe huts were made out of mud and yellow straw. When the sun sets to the West, the reflection bounces off the sides of the adobe straws, creating an optical illusion of shimmering gold

    i would like to know how you came up with the date of 1540 .. i have found a rock wall painting of what i believe is Coronado or Cortez it has two dates in front of the painting . 1536 and 1537....? this painting was found in the Superstition Mountains in AZ .i found the site in 2004 and i believe the site to be Cibola ...home of the seven caves ...

      Hi Robert, that is a great discovery! My dates come from the translation of the original writings. Outside of thos writings, I have not done any date verification. Your painting might be Cortez related because he was earlier. Quite the find!!!

      @@HistoricalContextUSA your correct i do believe it Cortez , the fact he had been seeking silver mines and a few hundred feet away is the lost Tayopa mine ... that was a silver mine , the painting shows him on a horse but looks like he is part of the horse , it shows his high coat and frill neck shirt his hair is back in a bony tail ..those were the only two years that Cortez could have been in the area it is at seven caves site and old Hohokam i believe the site maybe the real Cibola ...i found a volcanic vent blow out on a near by hill sounds a lot like the Cibola when the normal window is up wind from the site .that means if the volcanic blow out blew gold dust it would in fact land on top of the Hohokam village that has been destroyed and is almost totally gone now ,but i have found a chicomoztoc or Olmec shaman stone and a bone knife at the site ...and yes id find gold dust at the site and at the vent area ..

      I'm always skeptical. There are several different legends of treasure in the American southwest, but when using the primary resource test, few pass beyond a single source.
