Publisher's Description of Francisco Vazquez de Coronado (Spotlight on Explorers and Colonization)
In a pattern anyone familiar with the European explorers of the 1500s will recognize, Francisco Vazquez de Coronado set out in search of land and treasure. Following in the footsteps of Hernan Cortes, Coronado set out for the New World in hopes of claiming land and wealth for Spain. Readers will get caught up in the fantastic and dangerous journeys of the Coronado expedition from Mexico to Kansas as they sought in vain for the mythical seven cities of gold. Although he was unsuccessful in some aspects of his quests, this enlightening book will highlight his journey and discoveries.
Category Description for Spotlight On Exploration And Colonization
The human spirit of discovery has always driven explorers to forge unchartered routes to distant territories. Before the discovery of the New World, explorers from Europe, Africa, and Asia brought the culture, politics, and customs of their homes to far-away lands. These actions encouraged trade, the spread of ideas and technology, and cultural interaction and exchange. This spirit of exploration continued with the European discovery and colonization of the Americas. The biographies in this series detail the lives and deeds of the most noteworthy explorers to cross the high seas or tread new routes across continents. Each title investigates their motivations, the often negative physical and cultural effects of exploration on native peoples, and, in turn, the influence of foreign cultures on society back home. ~Amber
