About This Book

A collection of historical and archaeological studies of Spanish exploration and occupation in the Americas, tracing expeditions in search of legendary riches such as El Dorado and the seven cities, and detailing campaigns in regions like Cundinamarca, Meta, and Omagua as well as the voyages of Ursúa and Aguirre and Coronado’s quests for Cibola and Quivira. The essays examine encounters between European intruders and indigenous communities, including the New Mexican Pueblos and episodes such as the Cholula massacre, and use documentary records alongside field observation to reconstruct routes, dispel myths, and assess the social and cultural consequences of conquest.
