Author: Ignacio del Valle.
Last week the book Coronado, by Ignacio del Valle, was presented at Casa América. The mythical city of Cíbola and the search for a new El Dorado led Francisco Vázquez de Coronado to the southern United States. For the first time, European eyes saw those lands: immense deserts, red canyons, great plains full of bison, dangerous indigenous tribes, among them the Apaches… They were years of conquest and evangelization of a still unknown part of the New World, years plagued by confrontations and diseases, but also by glories and goals achieved. And it is the open, nonconformist, astonished and admired look of a Franciscan, Fray Tomás de Urquiza, who tells his story.
