Culture In Search of a Passage (Page 2 of 3) Still, Europeans remained convinced that the new world was a narrow strip and that Asia was not far away. They continued to probe the Americas' eastern coast, searching for a waterway to the silks and spices of the Orient. That's how Jacques Cartier discovered Canada's St. Lawrence River, which carried him more than 900 miles into what he called "New France." And how Henry Hudson discovered New York's Hudson River and claimed it for Holland. At the other end of the Americas, Ferdinand Magellan did find a passage to Asiabut not with the result he expected. When he rounded South America through the stormy strait that would bear his name, he thought he was a short sail from his goal, the Spice Islands, now the Moluccas of Indonesia. But as Magellan was the first to learn, the Pacific was no pond. Only two of his five ships reached the Spice Islands, and only one, minus the slain Magellan, limped home at the end of the first voyage around the world. Not every explorer was bent on reaching Asia. Ponce de Leon, seeking the fabled Fountain of Youth, discovered Florida. And a fewvery fewfound precisely what they craved. "We Spaniards suffer from a disease that only gold can cure," said Hernando Cortes, who was treated to loads of it when he conquered the Aztecs of Mexico. Francisco Pizarro secured an even greater treasure when he crushed Peru's Incas.

The Age of Exploration Illustrated by Jacob The news of Columbus' voyage to new lands spread quickly throughout Europe, and explorers soon set out for North and South America. Amerigo Vespucci, an Italian explorer who sailed along the coast of South America, was the first person to realize that Columbus had not reached Asia, but a new continent instead. A German mapmaker named America after him. The first explorers from Spain explored the southern part of North America and South America looking for gold and riches and claiming land for Spain. One Spanish explorer, Hernando Cortes, conquered the great Aztec civilization, killing many Native American people through war or the spread of diseases that were new to them. Another Spanish explorer, Francisco Coronado, traveled with a large expedition on horseback through the interior of North America looking for gold, which he never found. He did find the Grand Canyon, though. Explorers from France came looking for a passage through North America to Asia, the Northwest Passage, but found instead plentiful fishing and fur trapping. They explored mainly along the northern Atlantic coast of North America and into the interior of the continent along the Mississippi River. The French respected the Native Americans and treated them as business partners, setting up trading posts and exchanging iron tools for the furs the Native Americans brought them. Explorers from England explored mainly along the Atlantic coast of North America. Like the French, they came looking for the Northwest Passage through North America, but they soon became interested in claiming land for England and settling the new land.

They went as far as the province of Culiacan where his government ended, and where the New Kingdom of Galicia then was, but on account of the difficulties encountered in crossing the mountains, and the discouragement of many of the capitalists interested in the expedition, and also on account of political intrigues, this expedition was abandoned. Upon this information, the expedition of Friar Marcos de Niza was organized, and, as we have seen, reached the country wherein was located the Seven Cities of Cibola, one of which he saw from a distance. Upon the return of Friar Marcos, he gave a most glowing account of the country through which he had passed, much of which was hearsay evidence and greatly exaggerated. The country was described as populous and easy of access, the people, probably the Pima Indians, from hearsay evidence, were said to have gold in plenty out of which they manufactured their
[page 16] utensils. It was easy enough for Friar Marcos to believe these stories because of his experience in Peru, where the Indians understood the art of metal working, and it also corresponded with the information which had been given prior to this by the Indian, Tejo.

Coronado's Expedition Cibola and the country of Quivira (1540-42), it will be necessary to notice briefly the occurrences of the preceding decade. Pedro de Castaneda, the historian of the expedition, begins his narrative as follows: "In the year 1530 Nuno de Guzman, who was president of New Spain, had in his possession an Indian, one of the natives of the valley or valleys of Otixipar, who was called Tejo by the Spaniards. This Indian said he was the son of a trader who was dead, but that when he was a little boy his father had gone into the back country with fine feathers to trade for ornaments, and that when he came back he brought a large amount of gold and silver, of which there is a good deal in that country. He went with him once or twice, and saw some very large villages, which he compared to Mexico and its environs. He had seen seven very large towns which had their streets of silver workers." The effect of a story of this nature upon the Spanish mind can be readily imagined. It aroused the ambition and cupidity of Guzman, and exercised an influence on all the enterprises he directed along the Pacific coast to the north. Gathering together a force of some 400 Spaniards and several thousand friendly Indians, he started in search of the "Seven Cities," but before he had covered half the distance he met with serious obstacles, his men became dissatisfied and insisted on turning back, and about the same time Guzman received information that his rival, Hernando Cortez, had come from Spain with new titles and powers, so he abandoned the enterprise. Before turning his face homeward, however, he founded the town of Culiacan, from which post incursions were made into southern Sonora for the purpose of capturing and enslaving the natives.

He had no thought of gainonly the achievement of a purpose, a monomania. With this impulse was conjoined a more volitional motivehe wished to revenge himself upon the Apaches, and chiefly upon the renegade McKee, whom he supposed still to be with them. Somehow he blamed him, rather than Jack Payson, as being the chief cause of his miseries. "If he had not stolen the buried gold, I would have returned in time," he muttered, "He is at the bottom of all this. As I walked away from Jack in the garden, I felt as if it was McKee that was following me with his black, snaky eyes." Accordingly, Dick directed his way to a region reputed to be both rich in buried treasure and infested by hostile Indians.

Spanish, born in Salamanca, ca. 1510, died in Mexico City, 1554. Coronado was governor of New Galicia (contemporary Sinaloa and Nayarit, Mexico). As such he had already sent out Fray Marcos de Niza on a voyage to the north, to New Mexico. When Marcos returned he told about a wealthy, golden city, called Cibola. Of course this raised Coronado's interest, and he decided to try to get that gold. He set out in 1540, joined by a large expedition of 340 Spanish, 300 Indian allies, and 1000 slaves, both native Americans and Africans. He followed the coast of the Gulf of California northward to the Sonora, then traveled upstream the Sonora, and crossed the Gila to Cibola, in the west of present-day New Mexico. There he was met by disappointment. Cibola was nothing like the great golden city fray Marcos had described, it was just a simple pueblo of the Zuni indians. Marcos was sent back to Mexico in disgrace. Hernando de Alvarado was sent east, and found villages around the Rio Grande. Coronado set up his winter quarters in one of them, Tiguex (present-day Bernalillo near Albuquerque). During his wintering he suffered from fierce attacks by the Indians. He met an Indian, which he called "the Turk", who told him about Quivira, a rich country in the northwest. He decided to look for Quivira, taking the Turk as his guide. He traversed the Texan panhandle, and marched on further north. However, the Turk was found lying about the route, or at least Coronado thought he did so, and was executed. Other guides led him further to Quivira, and he reached a village near present-day Lindsborg, Kansas. But his disappointment was repeated: The Quivira indians (later known as Wichita) were no rich people at all, the village consisted mostly of thatched huts, and not even small amounts of gold could be found. Coronado returned to Tiguex, where his main force had remained behind. Here he spent another winter.

Desert Trails
The Coronado Expedition From Compostela to Cibola
By Jay W. Sharp

"It was a splendid array as it passed in review before Mendoza…" said George Parker Winship in his famed translation The Journey of Coronado 1540-1542. It was a pageant of the conquistadors—the conquerors, with traditions rooted in the centuries-long struggle to drive the Moors from Spain. "The [well over 200] young cavaliers curbed the picked horses from the large stock farms of the viceroy, each resplendent in long blankets flowing to the ground. Each rider held his lance erect, while his sword and other weapons hung in their proper places at his side.
There were more than a thousand horses in the train of the force, besides the mules, loaded with camp supplies and provisions, and carrying half a dozen pieces of light artillery—the pedreros, or swivel guns of the period." Additionally, a few of the conquistadors took their wives and children on the great adventure. Several Franciscan friars and soldiers had already forged on ahead as a vanguard. Hernando Alarcon, commanding three ships – the San Pedro, the Santa Catalina and the San Gabriel – planned a voyage up the Gulf of California to the delta of the Colorado River with the intention of giving logistical support to the army. As the conquistadors and their retinue marched grandly out of Compostela, well organized, well equipped and well supplied, they could not have foreseen what lay ahead.

Francisco Vázquez de Coronado
Although he failed in his quest for treasure to enrich the Spanish empire, Francisco Vázquez de Coronado led one of the most remarkable European explorations of the North American interior. Coronado was born into a noble family in Salamanca, Spain, in 1510. He came to the Americas at the age of twenty-five as an assistant to New Spain's first viceroy. Within three years of his arrival in Mexico, Coronado had married the daughter of the colonial treasurer (which garnered him an enormous estate), put down a major slave rebellion, and become governor of an important Mexican province. But he wanted more. Inspired by rumors of seven cities of gold and the travels of Cabeza de Vaca , Coronado led a royal expedition of about 300 Spanish soldiers, over 1,000 Tlaxcalan Indians, and enormous herds of livestock north into what is now the American West. In July Coronado and his advance party of Spanish cavalry encountered a Zuni pueblo, Hawikuh, which already had some experience with the Spanish. Estevan, one of the survivors of Cabeza de Vaca's expedition, had led a small scouting detachment to the Zuni about a year before and the Zuni had killed him, they later explained to Coronado, because of his presumptuousness with Zuni women. Coronado arrived at the pueblo during the high point of Zuni summer ceremonies. Understandably, they were not receptive to his recitation of the

Spain's conquests in the New World
During the early 1500's, Spanish explorers pushed across most of Central and South America. They unintentionally brought with them smallpox and other diseases that were unknown in the Americas. As a result, thousands of Native Americans, who had no resistance to these diseases, sickened and died from them. The Spanish explorers established colonies in the new lands. Royal officials, Roman Catholic priests, and settlers arrived soon after the explorers. The Indians typically were forced to work for the Spaniards. The Spaniards also brought sugar cane, wheat, and other new plants to the Americas, as well as horses, cattle, sheep, and other domestic animals. The Spaniards took back to Europe many plants that were unknown there, such as corn and potatoes.
