Edited, Translated, and Annotated by
Richard Flint and Shirley Cushing Flint
This volume is the first annotated, dual-language edition of thirty-four original documents from the Coronado expedition. The documents provide a window into the actions and attitudes of members of the expedition and its unwilling hosts in the American Southwest and northwest Mexico. Using the latest historical, archaeological, geographical, and linguistic research, this volume makes available accurate transcriptions and modern English translations of the documents, including seven never before published and seven others never before available in English. It includes a general introduction and explanatory notes at the beginning of each document
"Impressive. Materials that cannot be found in any other source; superb translations."—Donald E. Chipman, Professor of History, University of North Texas
RICHARD FLINT and SHIRLEY CUSHING FLINT, historians and Spanish paleographers, are among the foremost authorities on the Coronado expedition. They have researched in Mexico, Spain, and the United States and have directed two conferences on the expedition.
