description: Juan Rivera was a Spanish explorer who was dispatched by the Colonial government to find silver, trade with the Ute and Paiute Indians, and find a band of Indians who lived in a legendary province called Teguayo. Baker's book critically examines the literary and archaeological evidence of Rivera's travels in order to locate the route through southwestern Colorado. The book is illustrated by Gail Carroll Sargent and includes a new translation of Rivera's journal by Rick Hendricks.
