EventAcross the pillars
An Adobe Village in the Grass
After two months on the plains, the column has reached the country El Turco described. There is a settlement here, a substantial one by the standards of the grass-sea, but it is a town of round grass-thatched houses, not a stone capital. The chief is a tall man in a buffalo cloak. His people grow maize and beans in the river bottoms and hunt buffalo on the plain. There is no gold. El Turco, when pressed, admits he was sent by the Pueblos to lead the column as far from their country as possible. Target Leader orders him hanged.

historical_info = seven_cities_quivira.1.historical_info Coronado reached Quivira, somewhere in present-day Kansas, in summer 1541. The country was inhabited by Wichita farmers in grass-house villages along the Arkansas. There was no gold. The Pawnee man called El Turco, who had led the column east from New Mexico on the promise of a wealthy kingdom, was strangled by Spanish soldiers on Coronado's order; he had confessed that the Pueblos had instructed him to lead the Spanish onto the plain in the hope they would never come back. Coronado walked the column home that winter and reported to Mendoza that nothing in the country was worth the army it would take to hold it.
