  1. Francisco Vazquez de Coronado (1510 –1554) Exploration Date 1540 - 1542 By Reed Sellers, Timothy Davis, and Vijay Kaila

  2. No Gold? In July 1540, 300 soldiers and 1,000 Indians set off on a journey to find the Seven Cities of Cíbola. The expedition was the largest ever made into the Southwest. The leader of the group was Francisco Vázquez de Coronado. On the journey, Coronado passed through the Texas Panhandle, and ended up in modern-day Kansas and Oklahoma. When the group reached the Seven Cities of Cíbola, they fought with the Zuñi Indians to claim the cities. The fabled golden cities were actually poor Native American pueblos.

  3. Wanted: Gold Even though Coronado and his men did not find any gold in the Seven Cities of Cíbola, Coronado wouldn’t give up on his search for gold. Coronado met a Native American called The Turk. The Turk told Coronado about another rich city called Gran Quivira. A year later, Coronado and his group found Grand Quivira. It was another poor Native American village. The Turk admitted that he had lied. Coronado was so angry that he had The Turk killed.

  4. Interesting Facts • Coronado left home because his parents promised the family fortune to his older brother. • Coronado was appointed governor of New Galicia in 1538. • There were more animals in Coronado’s expedition than men. • Coronado’s group broke into bands. One band made it to the Grand Canyon. • Only 100 men returned to Mexico with Coronado. • Coronado was accused of mistreating Native Americans under his control. He was cleared of these charges. • In 1544, he lost his position as governor.

  5. Coronado’s Route

  6. Coronado’s Effect on Texas • Coronado established Spain’s later claim to the Southwest. • Since Coronado’s expedition was such a failure, Spain stopped sending explorers to Texas for a time.
