ExpeditionAcross the pillars
Search for the Kingdom of Quivira
Push beyond the country of the Pueblos into the open grass that runs east without end, on the word of a captive guide who says a wealthy kingdom lies a month's march into the plains. The grass-sea is empty and the rivers run sluggish, but the prize, if the prize is real, would equal the conquest of Peru.
