governor Of New Spain, to seek seven
fabulous cities, tales of whose wealth
had reached Mexico City via the In
dians These stories were corroborat-
ed by one Cabeza de Vaca, who had
been shipwrecked on an island off the
Texas coast and who gaining the
mainland a. year later, only to be
seized by Indians, finally escaped
with three companions and, after
years Of wandering through the wilds
found his way back to his own people.
On the journey he had heard of north
ern cities incrusted with turquoise
and paved with gold and silver.
1t was these that Mendoza expected
Fray Marcos to find. Accompanied
by negro who had shared De Vaca's
experiences, and by some friendly
Pima Indians, the brave friar tour
neyed through Arizona to the Zuni
country. Stories Of the treasure he
might expect to find increased in
promise as he progressed. But sudden.
", when he thought himself within
easy reach, Of the promised land, word
came from ahead that his advance
guard had been murdered by hostile
Indians. Lacking support, moral or
material, the friar became discouraged
and returned empty handed to Mex
leo City.
