Francisco Vasquez de Coronado
The next contact was made by Francisco Vasquez de Coronado, who set out in 1540 to relocate Zuni, the city of gold. After finally arriving at Zuni and realizing that there was no gold there, he and his men reportedly cursed de Niza—but continued to travel the region for another two years in an effort to locate the fabeled Cibola. Eventually, he returned home empty-handed and in deep disgrace.
