The Pueblo is Just a Village
After months in the field, the column has reached the place the clerics and the guides called Cibola. There are seven settlements here, as described. They are pueblos of adobe and stone, well-built and ancient, but they are villages of farmers and weavers, not gilded cities. The walls are not faced with gold, the doors are not studded with turquoise, the storerooms hold maize and dried beans and not much else. Target Leader writes the dispatch home with the door of the captain's tent shut. Outside, the men are sitting on their packs in silence.

historical_info = seven_cities_cibola.1.historical_info In July 1540, Coronado's column reached Hawikuh, the first of the Cibola pueblos, and was met by a community of Zuni farmers in a fortified adobe town. The fight that followed was brief: Coronado was wounded, the pueblo was taken, and there was no gold. Fray Marcos de Niza, who had returned to Mexico City the year before with reports of seeing the city from a distance and of streets paved with jewels, was sent home in disgrace. The Spanish entradas into the southwest produced no bullion, no encomienda economy, and no permanent presence for another fifty years.
