5. Conquistadors were Spanish soldiers who played a major role in the discovery and mapping of the New World, but they left a trail of blood along the way.
Between the 15th and 19th centuries, conquistadors waged war on the indigenous peoples of North and South America, devastating communities through the use of guns and the introduction of diseases such smallpox and diphtheria.
No one knows how many people died as a result of the Spanish conquest of the Americas, but some historians estimate that between 90 and 95 percent of the indigenous population of the New World was wiped out.

28. Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca
Cabeza de Vaca possessed a keen mind, inquisitive nature, and exceptional memory, which made him an ideal explorer.
He provided the first descriptions of Texas landforms, Indians, and plants. Cabeza de Vaca was the only Spaniard to record the names and practices of the Indian tribes of South Texas and to locate them relative to each other
In 1529, Cabeza de Vaca crashed on Galveston Island because of a hurricane.
The survivors named their island Malhando, meaning misfortune. They were the first non-Indians to set foot upon Texas soil.
Naked and miserably cold, they presented such a sad spectacle to the Karankawa Indians that they sat down with them and cried.
Luckily, Cabeza de Vaca knew enough about medicine that he was able to heal many Indians. He became known among the tribe as a “medicine man.”
made of gold. When he made it to Mexico he told others about many wonderful cities

Cabeza de Vaca reports
“vast and handsome”
“very fertile”
No gold, but heard of treasures
Although he saw no gold, he reported stories of riches that inspired the Spaniards to send a treasure-seeking expedition into Texas

44. Cabeza de Vaca & Estevanico

45. II. Fray Marcos Leads a New Expedition
In 1539 Viceroy Antonio do Mendoza sent a priest, Fray Marcos de Niza, to head an advance party to check on stories of treasure in the new land.
Estevanico, who rode ahead, sent back reports of Cibola, a land with seven cities of gold and other riches
He joined this expedition to serve as a guide and to help befriend Native Americans
He was later killed by Zuni warriors when he entered their lands
Cibola was actually a pueblo near the present-day boundary of Arizona and New Mexico.  Fray Marcos probably saw the pueblo at sunset, which made it look golden.

46. Cibola

47. III. Coronado Is Disappointed (pages 109-110)
Led an expedition of more than 300 soldiers, accompanied by Fray Marcos, to find Cibola
Found Cibola and was disappointed
Rather than go back empty-handed, he split his expedition into two groups
One headed west, found the Grand Canyon
Coronado's group headed east to present-day Santa Fe, New Mexico, where they met a Native American they called Turk.
Turk told of riches farther east, and led Coronado to the plains of Texas
They probably saw the Palo Duro Canyon
When they reached Quivira and did not find gold, Coronado put Turk to death

48. Coronado and the Turk

49. Francisco Vazquez de Coronado

50. Coronado’s Route

51. IV. Moscoso explores East Texas
Hernan De Soto landed in Florida in 1539, and led the first European expedition to reach the Mississippi River.
After de Soto died in 1542, Luis de Moscoso took command and led the expedition into East Texas.
Exploring perhaps as far as the Brazos River, the party met Native Americans, found no riches, and returned to the Mississippi River.

52. V. New Mexico is Founded Spanish did not find treasure in Texas
Few attempts at settlements in Texas
Decided to make a settlement on the upper Rio Grande, named it New Mexico

53. Explorer Map of Texas

56. I. France challenges Spanish claims
France challenged Spain’s claim to Texas
In 1682 La Salle led the first expedition that navigated the Mississippi River to the Gulf of Mexico, claiming the inland region surrounding the Mississippi for France and calling the area Louisiana.
La Salle returned to France and proposed a French colony be founded at the mouth of the Mississippi.
In July 1684 four ships with 300 more colonists set sail for Louisiana in search of the Mississippi but landed instead at Matagorda Bay.

58. II. The French Flag Flies Over Texas
La Salle and the colonists built the outpost Fort St. Louis and flew the French flag.
La Salle left the colonists to find other settlements and returned to Fort St. Louis to find that one ship had sailed back to France and the other had been wrecked on a sandbar.
Most of the stranded colonists died because of crop failure, disease, and fighting with Karankawas.
Although La Salle was murdered on March 19, 1687, he had managed to shift the focus of Spanish interest from western Texas to eastern Texas.
