| Summary |
There were seven of them when they left the summer camp of Coronado's army and struck out into that unknown land, which is now our great Southwest, to find the golden cities of Cibola. Of the seven, Captain Mendoza and his three soldiers were drawn by their greed for treasure; Father Francisco went for the love of the souls he hoped to save; Esteban de Sandoval, whose story this is, thought only of the maps he would draw of the countries still unseen and scarcely dreamed of in the courts of Spain; and Zia, the Indian girl, their guide and interpreter, who saw more clearly than the others the hazards of the dangerous journey. |
