The Thirty Lances
The continent is ahead, and the likelihood of all of us crossing it faint. The country between this anchorage and Quivira cannot feed a column of our size; at best, it may feed thirty. Target Leader spread the muster rolls out on a sea-chest and, name by name, chooses who rides north and who waits with the ships and the stores. Every man in camp has an opinion about the list, most of which concern which side of it their own names should fall on.

historical_info = seven_cities_quivira.11.historical_info At the Rio Grande, after a winter of bad blood with the Pueblos and a spring of dwindling stores, Coronado sent the bulk of his army back and rode for Quivira with thirty selected horsemen, navigating the featureless plain by compass and by counting each day's paces. The plains defeated ordinary methods: parties that rode out of sight of the column vanished, landmarks did not exist, and the buffalo herds erased every trail within hours. The thirty reached Quivira, a feat three hundred could have not accomplished.
