June 2000 Toward the end of February 1540, an army of nearly three hundred Spanish soldiers, one thousand Indian allies and slaves, one thousand horses, and at least five hundred mules and other stock, left the frontier town of Compostela, Mexico, and marched northward in search of the legendary Seven Golden Cities of Cibola. The Captain General of this expeditionary army was Francisco Vasquez de Coronado. Coronado's party camped near the Tiwa pueblo of Kuaua, one of the many villages contacted by the explorers. The Spanish Conquistadors occupied one of the pueblos in the Tiguex Province during the winters of 1540-41 and 1541-42. |
