Summary

Describes Coronado's explorations in the southwestern United States in the 1540s, an expedition which revealed for the first time to Europeans the Grand Canyon, the Painted Desert, the Great Plains, herds of buffalo, stark deserts, snow-capped mountain peaks--yet never the gold the Spaniards so avidly desired.
