Between 1539 and 1542, two thousand indigenous Mexicans, led by Spanish explorers, made an armed reconnaissance of what is now the American Southwest. The Spaniards' goal was to seize control of the people of the region and convert them to the religion, economy, and way of life of sixteenth-century Spain. The new followers were expected to recognize don Francisco VAAzquez de Coronado as their leader. The area's unfamiliar terrain and hostile natives doomed the expedition. The surviving Spaniards returned to Nueva EspaAa, disillusioned and heavily in debt with a trail of destruction left in their wake that would set the stage for Spain's conflicts in the future.

Flint incorporates recent archaeological and documentary discoveries to offer a new interpretation of how Spaniards attempted to conquer the New World and insight into those who resisted conquest.

Industry Reviews

"[Flint] deftly takes the reader through the expedition's background and its immediate preparations before telling the story of the "entrada" itself and tracing its aftermath...[an] essential work." "In this well-written and engaging volume...Flint uses a wide range of individual accounts that, taken together, provide an amazingly personal description of the Coronado expedition and the responses of indigenous peoples to the encounter....This book is a much needed and fascinating look into one of the most turbulent times in the Americas....Richard Flint has achieved a rare goal in historical writing; he has produced an accessible and enjoyable book that reexamines a topic we though we knew and prompts us to look deeper." "To date, there has been no better-written capsule history of this expedition."
