Book Overview

Young people will enjoy reading about Coronado's search for the Seven Cities of Gold in this well-written biography of his walking journeys through the American West. Set in the North American interior, Coronado and his men were the first Europeans to gaze upon the wondrous Grand Canyon and strange animals such as the American bison. Thirst, starvation, and the hunt for riches that eluded him propel readers to learn more about the Age of Discovery and Exploration in the New World.
