Back to Modern History SourceBook Modern History Sourcebook: Biographic Sources On Spaniards In The New World, 16th-17th Centuries Petitions for Jobs And Money A huge amount of information on individual Spanish settlers in the New world is available. Much comes from petitions - Probanzas de Servicios y Writos -for jobs sent to the king and Council of the Indies. As well as such petitions hundred of autobiographies by church men of the period survive - e.g. at least 355 from 1607 to 1809 in the archdiocesan archive. All this makes possible a social history of Spanish settlement. True Reports Concerning Persons Who Took Part in the Conquest of New Spain and the City of Mexico, Who Went Thither with the Marquis del Valle JUAN XARAMILLO, DECEASED He says that he is a resident of this city and a native of Villanueva de Balcarrota, son of Alonzo Xaramillo and Mencia de Matos. His father served his Majesty in the conquests of Tierra Firme and La Española; he himself went to New Spain with the Marqués del Valle [Cortés], and was present at the taking of this city. He also took part in the conquests of New Spain and its provinces, as he declares, and in those of the Rio de Grijalva, Oaxaca, Pánuco, and Honduras. In remuneration of his services he was given in encomienda the town of Xilotepec. He is in debt and ruined; is married, has his home established, his arms, many horses, and a family. . . .

About 2,000 years ago, they joined in a general shift toward the cultivation of crops that gave birth to the Southwest's Anasazi tradition. In time, small villages appeared along the streams of this arid land. As more centuries passed the Anasazi built large multi-storied towns laid out around plazas. The Zuni towns centered on the Little Colorado River drainage. As trading middlemen between the Anasazi world and other cul-tures of the Southwest, the Zuni played a central role in the transmission of trade items and Cultural values. A'ts'ina ruin A'ts'ina petroglyphs A'ts'ina Ruin (see gallery ) atop El Morro dates from the time of larger towns. Archeological evidence shows that A'ts'ina and nearby massive pueblos were built about the same time - in the late 1200s.

A Most Famous Failing Coronado was born to a noble family of Salamanca, Spain about 1510. As a young man at court he became friendly with Antonio de Mendoza, and when Mendoza was appointed viceroy of New Spain (Mexico) in 1535, Coronado accompanied him to America as his assistant. Within three years of his arrival in Mexico City, Coronado suppressed a slave rebellion, pacified the Indians and married the wealthy Beatriz Estrada , daughter of the colonial treasurer. In 1538 Mendoza appointed Coronado governor of New Galicia, a province in western Mexico. Moving northward, Coronado and his advance party of Spanish cavalry came upon the Zuni pueblo of Hawikuh, in western New Mexico, but found no great wealth or treasure. The Zuni did not take well to the usual Spanish demands that they "acknowledge the Church as the ruler and superior of the whole world, and the high priest called Pope." They fired on Coronado's band and were quickly subdued. In the spring of 1541, the force moved into Palo Duro Canyon in present-day Texas, where Coronado left most of his men and proceeded north with 30 horsemen to another supposedly fabulously wealthy country, Quivira (Kansas), only to find a Wichita Indian village An official inquiry, normally called after such an expedition, brought Coronado an indictment for his conduct, but found him innocent. Coronado continued his governorship of New Galicia until he was indicted again, and in 1544, found guilty of corruption, negligence and atrocities against Indians under his authority. Coronado returned to Mexico City, where he died the same year, decades before his chronicle of the expedition was finally published.

THE EUROPEAN DISCOVERY OF THE NEW WORLD Interpreting Primary Source Documents Columbus reports on his voyage to King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain. These people in the Caribbean have no creed and they are not idolaters, but they are very gentle and do not know what it is to be wicked, or to kill others, or to steal...and they are sure that we come from Heaven....So your Highnesses should resolve to make them Christians, for I believe that if you begin, in a little while you will achieve the conversion of a great number of peoples to our holy faith, with the acquisition of great lordships and riches and all their inhabitants for Spain. For without doubt there is a very great amount of gold in these lands . The people of this island [Hispaniola], and of all the others that I have found and seen, or not seen, all go naked, men and women, just as their mothers bring them forth; although some women cover a single place with the leaf of a plant, or a cotton something which they make for that purpose. They have no iron or steel, nor any weapons....They have no other weapons than the stems of reeds...on the end of which they fix little sharpened stakes.

He traveled from Florida to Texas on a raft, then walked from Texas to Mexico City. He also explored the Paraguay River in South America.

In Italy, he is known as Giovanni Caboto (which is his original name).

He worked as a cartographer (mapmaker) for England's King Henry VIII, was a captain for Spain's King Ferdinand V, explored for England's King Charles V, and may have secretly explored for Venice. Sebastian Cabot's father was the explorer John Cabot Cabot searched for the Northwest passage across North America (1508). He began an unsuccessful trip around the world (1526-1529) in a voyage that supposed to sail to China and the Moluccas (the Spice Islands, in Indonesia), but he only made it as far as the enormous mouth of the Rio de la Plata (a river between Argentina and Uruguay in South America). Later, he began to work for the English again (for King Charles V), searching for a water passage across the north of Asia around 1553.

Explorers Before Lewis and Clark Home Circa 1804 Westward Expansion EXPLORERS BEFORE LEWIS AND CLARK Seeking a western ocean route to Asia, Christopher Columbus encountered the Caribbean Islands, and claimed them for Spain John and Sebastian Cabot reached the east coast of North America, and claimed it for England. Columbus encountered the coast of Panama Central America was occupied by Spain Juan Ponce de Leon claimed Florida for Spain. He landed near modern Jacksonville and sailed around the peninsula, perhaps as far north as Tampa. Alonso Alvarez de Pineda explored the Gulf Coast of Mexico and encountered the mouth of the Mississippi River. He nameed it the "Rio del Espiritu Santo." Giovanni da Verrazano encountered New York Harbor and the Hudson River, laying claim for France to the "New World." The Panfilo de Narvaez expedition set out to explore the Gulf coastline from Florida to Texas. The group was attacked by Indians and its boats were swamped. All the expedition members died except for four survivors, who wandered across Texas and the Southwest, eventually contacting the Spanish in Mexico City nearly 10 years later (1536). Lavar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca and a black slave named Esteban were two of the three survivors, who described cultures and the geography of the regions they traversed. They gave the world the first description of the American buffalo (bison).
