To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Their doors were studded with turquoises, as if feathers from the wings of the blue sky had dropped and clung there. Within those jeweled cities were whole streets of goldsmiths, so great was the store of shining metal to be worked.
Indians were ever great story-tellers, delighting to weave the tales most pleasant to their hearers.
79 80 THE SPANISH BORDERLANDS It was an Indian slave of Nufio de Guzman who regaled that credulous oflBcial of New Spain with fanciful description of the Pueblo town...s of New Mexico. The myth led Guzman north, to the ruthless conquest of Sinaloa and the found- ing of Culiacan, still the capital city of that Mexican state.
Then, in 1535, came Antonio de Mendoza from Old Spain to be the first Viceroy of New Spain.
Mendoza had soon set his heart on the acquisition of those Seven Cities. The arrival of Vaca and his companions in the City of Mexico, out of the mysterious north, in July, 1536, added fuel to Mendoza's desires. An expedition must be fitted out immediately, to be led by Vaca's companion Dorantes — since Vaca himself was resolved to go to Spain.
