Finding a Northwest Passage











I started my route from Portugal Spain in search of the northwest passage. I went west by northwest until I got to Canada. I discovered a bay which led into a river going southwest. I followed it until It led into Lake Ontario. From there I went south into Lake Eerie, north into Lake Huron, and then northwest into Lake Superior. I went west until I reached the opening of the Mississippi River. I followed it roughly South until I reached the Gulf of Mexico. I sailed through the Caribbean Ocean and realized that I had failed. I had not discovered a Northwest passage. :(

Good, Bad, Ugly of Fransisco de Coronado

Fransisco de Coronado was born in Salamanca Spain, 1510. He went to the Americas at the age of 25 as an assistant to New Spain's viceroy. Coronado married the daughter of a royal treasurer, put down a slave rebellion, and became the governor of an important Mexican providence. He wanted more-he heard legends of seven cities of gold and the travels of Cabeza de Vaca. Coronado led an expedition of 300 Spanish soldiers, 1,000 Tlaxcalan Indians, and herds of livestock into the American West. In 1540, Coronado and his men encountered a Zuni pueblo. Coronado tried to convert them to Christianity, and they didn't like that. The Zuni started shooting arrows at him and his men, nearly killing Coronado. The Spaniards entered the pueblo and forced the Zuni people to flee, threatening to kill the men and take the women and children as slaves. They found no gold in the Zuni pueblos, forcing them to journey even farther, to the Grand Canyon. Coronado led a party in search of Quivira's mythic riches, into Kansas, but only found a village of Wichita Indians. Coronado went back to Mexico, where the Viceroy said his expedition a failure. Coronado resumed his governorship, but in several years he was found guilty of atrocities against Indians. He was removed from office in 1544 and moved to work in a lower position. He died in 1554.
