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
