Discoverers Web: Coronado Coronado was governor of New Galicia. As such he had already sent out Fray Marcos de Niza on a voyage to the north, to New Mexico. When Marcos returned he told about a wealthy, golden city, called Cibola. Of course this raised Coronado's interest, and he decided to try to get that gold. He set out in 1540, joined by a large expedition of 340 Spanish, 300 Indian allies http: //win.tue.nl/~engels/discovery/coronado.h...
