| Résumé: | Guided by myths of golden cities and worldly rewards, policy makers, conquistador leaders, and expeditionary aspirants alike came to the new world in the sixteenth century and left it a changed land. This book follows two conquistadors - Francisco Vázquez de Coronado and Don Juan de Oñate - on their journey across the southwest. Driven by their search for gold and silver, both Coronado and Oñate committed atrocious acts of violence against the Native Americans, and fell out of favor with the Spanish monarchy. Examining the legacy of these two conquistadors, the author attempts to balance their brutal acts and selfish motivations with the historical significance and personal sacrifice of their expeditions. -- Publisher's website. |
