There were seven of them when they left the summer camp of Coronado's army and struck out into that unknown land, which is now our great Southwest, to find the golden cities of Cibola. Writing in his cell during the days of his trial for withholding the King's Fifth, or royal share of treasure, Esteban de Sandoval, a young mapmaker, recalls all that happened since they left. The greedy and gold-hungry Captain Mendoza led the party, with an Indian girl, Zia, as a guide, on a hazardous expedition.
