The Legacy of Estevanico and the Search for the Seven Cities of Gold in 1540

Estevanico, an African slave and explorer, played a pivotal role in the 1540 expedition led by Francisco de Coronado in search of the legendary Seven Cities of Gold. This journey, motivated by tales of immeasurable wealth, significantly influenced the Spanish exploration of the Southwest. Alongside Estevanico, prominent figures such as King Ferdinand, Queen Isabella, and Francisco Pizarro reshaped the Americas through conquests and settlements. Their stories reflect the complex intersections of culture, power, and resistance in the age of exploration, including the early movements of people and ideas across continents.
