Appendix: The Real Quivira
-
Description
-
Story of Francisco Vasquez de Coronado, or Francisco Coronado, and his failed Spanish military expedition to find and conquer the Great Plains region north of Mexico (including later Kansas Territory) in 1541. "The Spaniards were sorely disappointed. ..To get rid of them [the Spaniards], they [the Indians at Santa Fe] shrewdly persuaded one of their prisoners, a Quivira Indian, whom the Spaniards called the 'Turk,' to represent Quivira as a land of fabulous wealth. The design seems to have been to get the Spaniards on the great plains, with the hope that they would get lost, die of hunger, and never return" (Page 477).
