Coronado searches for The 7 cities of gold
Francisco Coronado, a young conquistador, led a
group of Spaniards,Africans and Indians on a
search for the seven cities of gold. For two
years Coronado looked for the cities, but he did
not find them. Instead he was the first to see
the Grand Canyon. The seven cities of gold turned
out to be just regular villages.

Wow that's a long trip!
In 1540, with a commission by the Viceroy of New
Spain and funded by many investors, Francisco
Vasquez de Coronado marched north from
Compostela, Mexico, with a huge army, to conquer
the Seven Cities of Cibola, discovered the year
before by the priest, Marcos de Niza. The army
contained around 350 Spaniards, some on horseback
and more on foot, and around 900 Indian allies
gathered from central Mexico, plus herds of
livestock. Only a few women went on the
expedition, including the wives of a very few
Spanish soldiers. They expected to pay off the
investments and get rich from gold and jewels in
Cibola, but when they reached there in July,
1540, the found no wealth.
