Venturesome Spaniards in Quest for Quivira Visited Nebraska
The 1540 41 Coronado expedition sought the fabled Quivira city of gold in the plains north of Mexico. They crossed the Gila, fought for scarce food, and lingered near the plains peoples before returning toward the Rio Grande. Historians debate Quivira’s exact site, with Nebraska and the Platte region among likely candidates.
