Coronado National Memorial Located just north of the border between Mexico and the United States, the Coronado National Memorial contains rocky canyons, dense woodlands, and a flat, arid, desert floor. The site features more than 4,700 acres of oak woodlands and semi-desert grasslands with perennial bunch grasses, honey mesquite, manzanita, yucca, and desert willow. From Montezuma Pass, which lies at an elevation of 6575 feet, you can see the San Pedro River Valley to the east and the San Rafael Valley to the west. Commonly seen mammals include white-tailed deer, javelina, coyote, coatimundi, and gray fox; less commonly seen species include the more timid bobcat, black bear, and mountain lion. More than 140 species of birds, including the Mexican jay, the acorn woodpecker, the spotted towhee, the painted redstart, and the Montezuma quail can also be seen here. http://www.nps.gov/coro

Da Gama lost an entire crew to scurvy, had to burn a ship. Was almost captured by Africans in Mombasa. When he got to India, the Indians laughed at his cheap trading goods (beads and cloth). Got in lots of sea fights with Arab merchants. Christopher Columbus Spain First European to reach New World since the Vikings. Found Bahamas, Cuba, Hispaniola. Christopher Columbus If he’d landed one island over, would’ve met cannibalistic Caribs; not peaceful Tainos. Immediately took Indians captive for souvenirs; some of these introduced syphillis to Europe. Santa Maria wrecked by drunk sailors - its wood planks became first fort, La Navidad. Set the example for exploiting Indian labor. Died broke and discredited; convinced he’d found China. Ferdinand Magellan Spain First expedition to circumnavigate the globe (Magellan himself didn’t quite make it).

Petitions for Jobs And Money A huge amount of information on individual Spanish settlers in the New world is available. Much comes from petitions - Probanzas de Servicios y Writos -for jobs sent to the king and Council of the Indies. As well as such petitions hundred of autobiographies by church men of the period survive - e.g. at least 355 from 1607 to 1809 in the archdiocesan archive. All this makes possible a social history of Spanish settlement.

He says that he is a resident of this city and a native of Villanueva de Balcarrota, son of Alonzo Xaramillo and Mencia de Matos. His father served his Majesty in the conquests of Tierra Firme and La Espanola; he himself went to New Spain with the Marquis del Valle [Cortes], and was present at the taking of this city. He also took part in the conquests of New Spain and its provinces, as he declares, and in those of the Rio de Grijalva, Oaxaca, P‡nuco, and Honduras. In remuneration of his services he was given in encomienda the town of Xilotepec. He is in debt and ruined; is married, has his home established, his arms, many horses, and a family. . . .

European Discovery of the New World Columbus reports on his voyage to King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain:
The people of this island [Hispaniola], and of all the others that I have found and seen, or not seen, all go naked, men and women, just as their mothers bring them forth; although some women cover a single place with the leaf of a plant, or a cotton something which they make for that purpose. They have no iron or steel, nor any weapons....They have no other weapons than the stems of reeds...on the end of which they fix little sharpened stakes. Even these they dare not use....they are incurably timid.... They brought us parrots and balls of cotton and spears and many other things, which they exchanged for the glass beads and hawks' bells. They willingly traded everything they owned. They do not bear arms, and do not know them, for I showed them a sword, they took it by the edge and cut themselves out of ignorance. With fifty men we could subjugate them all and make them do whatever we want. 1. How accurate do you consider Columbus's description of the New World?

In 1564, the French established a colony near what is now called Jacksonville . The colony was called fort Carolina and set up by Protestants known as Huguenots . This colony remained till the Spanish for religious reasons killed its inhabitants. The following year, the Spanish established the first permanent settlement called St. Augustine

Question/Problem 2: Describe the reasons for and the outcomes of the European explorers between 1492 and 1620
Contents Objectives Description of lesson/activity Resources
Objectives: The students will be able to:
  • describe the goals and accomplishments of an individual explorer.
  • determine the exploration policy of one European country.
  • rank and defend the exploration achievements of competing European countries.
  • gather relevant information from a variety of resources. Description of lesson/activity:
  • The students will have completed the research and class discussions about the situation in Europe during the 1400s which caused the Europeans to explore. Students have also identified the attributes necessary for an explorer. Students will now ex amine the lives and explorations of several individual explorers.
  • Rather than dwell on a chronology of explorers and accomplishments, the activity has been designed to emphasize the in±depth research of a few explorers and to use this research to infer the exploration policies of the countries involved.
  • The students should be divided into groups of three. One student from each group should be assigned to gather information on three explorers from Spain; the second student should gather information on explorers from France; and the third on explo rers from England and the Netherlands. Spain and France were highlighted because they were the leading countries during this time period. England and the Netherlands were examined together because they had similar exploration policies and were no t as prominent as the others in the search for new lands. Portugal was not included because their early discoveries were dealt with in the first part of this unit as the cause for other Europeans to explore. Fact sheets have been provided for the following explorers:

    Early Spanish Exploration and Indian Implements
    From Kansas Historical Collections , Volume VIII, pp. 152-164. An address by W.E. Richey, of Harveysville, before the Kansas State Historical Society, at its twenty-eighth annual meeting, December 1, 1903. Kansas is great in her material resourcesher crops, her minerals, her oilbut her crowning glory is her history. It is a record of the transformation of a desert into a garden. The best civilization of the ages is deeply rooted in the soil once trod by the buffalo and the Indian. The founding and growth of our institutions and the marvelous progress and development, marked by the vast improvements which dot out landscapes and border our streams, have wrought a story never surpassed by man. But while every Kansan should rejoice at the matchless career of the state, the first efforts in the great drama of civilization on our soil, amidst the darkness and discouragements of a past century, should not be forgotten. The significance of the "seven cities" suddenly vanished. The one which the Spaniards now occupied was a flat-roofed pueblo village, and the others were found to be similar, such as yet exist in New Mexico.

    • Christopher Columbus sailed from Spain in 1492. He explored North America. Ferndinand Magellan planned to sail around the world. He left Spain in 1519, and in 1520 reached the coast of Brazil. In 1521 after sailing across the Pacific he reached the Philippines where he died. The remainder of his crew arrived back in Spain in 1522. In 1497, John Cabot became the first European to visit the northeast coast of North America since the Vikings. Sailing in the service of King Henry VII of England, Cabot landed on the east coast of Canada or on the coast of Maine. Cabot's voyage helped lay the foundation of English claims to North America. One of the most important Spanish expeditions in the New World was commanded by Hernando Cortes (pronounced kawr TEHZ), who in 1519 left with more than 600 men. He sailed to what is now the Mexican state of Yucatan, which was a center of Maya civilization. Cortes moved along the coast of Mexico and then inland to Tenochtitlan (now Mexico City), the capital of the Aztec empire. Along the way, he met an Indian woman named Malinche, whom the Spaniards called Dona Marina. Malinche, who knew both the Maya and the Aztec languages, served as an interpreter for Cortes. In 1532 and 1533, the Spanish explorer

    Mission San Jose "The Missions and Mission System in Texas" The story of New Spain, or more aptly Spain's exploration, conquest, and colonization of the New World of the Western Hemisphere, begins on the Iberian Peninsula. The Moors of Africa invaded Spain in 711 A. D. and rapidly conquered almost all of the peninsula except for the northernmost region of the Cantabric Mountains. From this mountainous base the Spanish people began fighting back beginning about 800 A. D. This fight to regain control of their homeland would be a protracted one - the entire peninsula would not be recovered from the Moorish invaders until 1491 with the retaking of Granada. Christopher Columbus discovered the New World in the search for riches. He was searching for a sea route to India and Asia which, by reducing prohibitive overland transportation costs for traders, would greatly increase their profits. The Western Hemisphere, however, got in the way. Nonetheless, Columbus and the Spanish found wealth in the form of New World gold and silver. On repeated voyages during the 1490s, Columbus explored the Caribbean, plundering the riches of the natives, and later enslaving them to mine more gold and silver. Given this first glimpse of the New World and the wealth that it had to offer to both companas and the Spanish crown, new expeditions were mounted. Hernan Cortez, leading a compana of five hundred and fifty men, conquered the entire Aztec nation on the mainland of present-day Mexico between 1519 and 1521. Cortez and his men, despite being greatly outnumbered, had all the trump cards. The Aztecs were awaiting the return of a legendary god. Before they realized that Cortez was not that god, he had gained the upper hand, allying himself with and using other Indians who were mortal enemies of the Aztecs. The Spanish also enjoyed a monopoly of firearms, horses, and Old World diseases for which the New World natives had no immunity. Soon the Aztecs were enslaved, forced into the slow death of life in the mines.

    Portugal and the beginnings of naval exploration
    Beginning in the late 14th century, European explorers embarked on a series of expeditions of discovery and conquest. Their goals, summed up by the Spanish explorers of the Americas as "Gold, Glory, and God", were to amass great wealth by conquering indigenous peoples, to bring fame to their monarchs and themselves for their daring exploits, and to bring Christianity to the regions that they explored and exploited. The first explorers were motivated by fabulous tales from the Orient brought back by Marco Polo and other Italian traders, and especially by the valuable products they brought with them, such as spices, silk, gold, and silver. One of them was Portugal's Prince Henry the Navigator, who also studied sailing techniques pioneered by the Arabs when he helped Portugal conquer Northern Morocco. Later, Prince Henry founded a navigation school, where these techniques were quickly integrated into Portuguese vessels. Prince Henry's dream was find a sea route to India around Africa, so Portuguese traders could bypass the Italian middlemen who had monopolized the Oriental luxury trade. Under his direction, Portuguese explorers explored much of the African coast, and established profitable trading posts in the Niger delta and further south in Angola. However, it was only after his death that the Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama sailed around the Cape of Good Hope and reached the Southern India's trading cities.

    World Facts Index United States Old Town Downtown The hub of business and government activity in the city is the bustling downtown area. But business is not the only activity that takes place in this cultural center. The Civic Plaza is host to myriad activities and during summer months, Summerfest is held. This is a celebration of New Mexico's many cultures that showcases the food, music and dance of a different ethnic group every Saturday. If the Civic Plaza is downtown's outdoor venue, the newly renovated KiMo Theater is the city's crown jewel of indoor venues for the performing arts. The Hyatt Regency, one of the city's newest luxury hotels dominates the downtown skyline. With two lounges and a restaurant that offers fine dining, this is the ultimate hotel for the business traveler. Midtown This region of Albuquerque boomed following the second World War when Route 66 became an artery for interstate travel and migration to the west. The residential neighborhoods are quaint tree-lined streets with 1950s ranch-style homes and a sprinkling of well-groomed parks. The uptown district is the retail center of the city. Two large, indoor shopping malls, Winrock Center and Coronado Center, lie within a mile of each other. Restaurateurs have taken advantage of the traffic generated by these centers. The Japanese Kitchen sushi bar caters to local businessmen and shoppers alike. The Sheraton Albuquerque Uptown offers a range of rates for all levels of business travelers. If you are overwhelmed by the district's hole-in-the-wall and specialty eateries, try the hotel's Classic Grille, offering meals with a Southwestern flair. If you're visiting over the weekend, be sure to drop in for the Fajitas-and-Margaritas-for-Two special.
