Looking Backward C. E. Holcomb THE SEVEN CITIES OF GOLD Around the campfires of Cortes in Mexico, the dream of "Cibola" haunted the minds of men like a golden apparition. Somewhere, in the vague north was Cibola and its seven cities, where the very walls were of gold. As the fortunes of the Spanish waned and they had extorted the last bit of treasure from the Aztec kings, Cibola became the lode-star to buoy new hopes. Somewhere in the vague north, Cibola and California of the golden clad Amazons. The new world was still new when Caboza de Vaca made his appearance in Mexico, clothed in rags and famished from his adventures. The Spaniards had, at this time, completely wrecked the splendid civilization of the Aztecs, and looted them to the last grain of gold and the last precious stone. This was the situation when de Vaca appeared out of no where with 11 bedraggled Indians and a forlorn negro Estavanico all in rags and famished from their adventures, in the year 1527. They had travelled from Florida, across Louisiana, Texas, Arizona, New Mexico to old Mexico on foot, and this is the story of de Vaca. In his long trek from the Atlantic to the Pacific, he has passed through the countries of Indian peoples who wore costly fabrics upon their bodies and were bedecked with jewels. One tribe, among many he had met used emeralds for arrow heads; and that he passed through a country called Quivara, in which were the seven golden cities of Cibola. Cibola, with its walks and walls of gold; the great high houses and temples decorated with turquoise and other precious stones. Quivari, that was somewhere vaguely in the north. How could a man with brain distraught from unbelievable suffering, on a journey, the like of which, no creature of God had ever taken before, stop to make maps with no instruments, crayons or parchment? The magical country was there, somewhere, in the north and let none be of so mean a spirit as to doubt it. Perhaps it was California. The first man to get action by way of checking up on Caboza was a Franciscan friar, who went by the name of Marcos de Niza. Fray Marcos taking the statements of de Vaca as truth, organized an expedition and set out to find the "Seven Cities of Gold." He took the negro, Estavancio, who had accompanied de Vaca from Florida to Mexico. It was long before Fray Marcos returned alone; the others had perished. It was all true about Quivera and the seven cities of gold that were in Cibola. He had seen them shining yellow in the sun with his own eyes. Thus, Caboza de Vaca was vindicated as a truthful man. The effect of the report was electrical. The Viceroy in New Spain was Antomio de Mendoza. He had there are secrets of the earth, waters and the air that man in ventures, in the year 1527. They had travelled from Florida, across Louisiana, Texas, Arizona, New Mexico to old Mexico on foot, and this is the story of de Vaça.

It was all true about Quivera and the seven cities of gold that were in Cibola. He had seen them shining yellow in the sun with his own eyes. Thus, Caboza de Vaca was vindicated as a truthful man. The effect of the report was electrical. The Viceroy in New Spain was Antomio de Mendoza. He had lately come into authority and his imagination was stirred by the tale of the seven cities. Here was his chance to equal the exploits of Cortes, who was jealous and suspicious of Mendoza. So Mendoza fitted out an expedition to go to the seven cities and seize them. The golden buildings and side walks, the pots and kettles of gold that the women of Cibola used in their kitchens, would grace a royal fleet as cargo to be sent across the seas to his Majesty, the King of Spain, and open the palace doors for new honors to Mendoza. Mendoza chose Francisca Vasquez de Coronado to head the expedition. When this expedition reached the seven cities, they were received with a rain of stones and arrows, but it required only a few hours for the Spaniards to win the battle; but one can imagine their chagrin, when they realized that there was no gold anywhere. The people, who lived there, were a simple, pastoral people, unacquainted with gold in any form. The ruins of the cities are still to be seen. As to Marquis de Niza, time clears all blots from his good name. He fully believed the "Seven Cities of Gold" in Cibola had been seen by him, "with his own eyes." The slant of the sun at the close of the day was upon the Zuni pueblas when Fray Marcos, turning homeward alone, looked down upon them from a friendly hill. It was not caliche walls he saw, but walls of gold. And that was how he was misled and befooled. As John Steven McGroarty sums it up: "Despite the failure of Coronado and his expedition, the broken adventurers in Mexico still held tenaciously to a firm belief in the existence of the Cities of Gold. Quivira and Cibola, the fabled lake of gold, el dorado the shining man — they must be somewhere, and some day they will be found." Now, all this seeming childishness of imagination is not without purpose. It is the thing that her set the world forward and accompanied de Vaca from Florida to Mexico.
