About FranciscoAbout Francisco
Francisco battled the pueblo Indians at Zuni and injured. Date: July 7, 1540
Francisco Vasquez de Coronado came from a Noble, wealthy Spanish family and spent time in the Spanish court
Francisco Vásquez de Coronado (1510-1554) was a Spanish ruler, explorer and conquistador. He was the first European to explore North America's Southwest.
About FranciscoAbout Francisco
Francisco's father, Juan Vázquez de Coronado, had held the post of corregidor, or royal administrator, there in 1515 and 1516. Francisco's mother was Isabel de Luján, who had already given birth to another son, Gonzalo.
In 1544 he is removed from office when he is found guilty of committing crimes (the war) against Indians. As a punishment, he is sent to work in an embarrassing, minor position in Mexico City.
Expedition consists of 340 Spanish Troops, 300 Indians, 1,000 horses, 1,000 slaves and six swivel guns.
He took over the Zuni Village after he fought the Pueblo Indians.\
About FranciscoAbout Francisco
He landed a position with the government and managed to marry well. His wife, Dona Beatriz, was the daughter of Alonso de Estrada, the colonial treasurer. Vázquez de Coronado rose up within the colonial government, receiving an appointment to the governorship of Nueva Galicia.
In July 1540 Coronado and his advance party of Spanish cavalry encountered a Zuni pueblo, Hawikuh, which already had some experience with the Spanish. Estevan, one of the survivors of Cabeza de Vaca's expedition, had led a small scouting detachment to the Zuni about a year before and the Zuni had killed him, they later explained to Coronado, because of his presumptuousness with Zuni women.

In July 1540 Coronado and his advance party of Spanish cavalry encountered a Zuni pueblo, Hawikuh, which already had some experience with the Spanish. Estevan, one of the survivors of Cabeza de Vaca's expedition, had led a small scouting detachment to the Zuni about a year before and the Zuni had killed him, they later explained to Coronado, because of his presumptuousness with Zuni women.
Coronado arrived at the pueblo during the high point of Zuni summer ceremonies. Understandably, they were not receptive to his recitation of the requirimiento, the standard Spanish exhortation to native peoples, which began with the order to "acknowledge the Church as the ruler and superior of the whole world, and the high priest called Pope, and in his name the King and Queen" of Spain. The next part of the requirimiento warned the Zuni that if they failed to obey orders "with the help of God we shall forcefully... make war against you... take you and your wives and children and shall make slaves of them." Unimpressed but perhaps angered, the Zuni began firing arrows at the Spaniards, at one point very nearly killing Coronado himself. The better-armed and mounted Spaniards quickly entered the pueblo and forced the Zuni to flee
HawikuhHawikuh
In reality, Cibola was pretty much just the native town of Hawikuh, in modern day New Mexico. No one is sure why Niza fabricated the stories of great riches in Cibola/Hawikuh; while a prosperous native town, there were no thrones of gold or city gates made of valuable native turquoise. Estevanico, who had traveled the breadth of the North American continent along with Spanish explorer Álvar Nuñez Cabeza de Vaca, had accompanied Brother Marcos and been killed by the native inhabitants of Cibola/Hawikuh. The native Zuni people, familiar with Estevanico's prowess at curing the sick, suspected that he also had the ability to make people sick, and quickly turned on him. Despite the treatment his expedition had received at the hands of the Native Americans of Cibola/Hawikuh, Niza continued to preach about the wonders of the region to anyone in Mexico City who would listen.
Exploring American SouthwestExploring American Southwest
Vázquez de Coronado set out with about 300 Spanish soldiers and roughly 1,000 Indians. That July, the expedition encountered a group of Zuni Indians in what is now New Mexico. Vázquez de Coronado and his men soon clashed with the Zunis and took over the Zuni village. Disappointed by the expedition's failure to find a golden city, he decided to send his men out in different directions to do further investigations. One group led by Pedro de Tovar traveled to the Colorado Plateau, while Garcia López de Cárdenas and his men became the first Europeans to see the Grand Canyon.
