Francisco Vazquez de Coronado


Did you continually conjecture how the world was discovered? This all goes back to the point in time known as “The age of Exploration”. During this time period many people were very curious about the world and how big it was and what lived on it. One example of someone very famous during this time is Christopher Columbus. He thought the earth was round so he decided that if he sailed west he would get to ASIA. Unfortunately he was wrong and he ended up discovering North America. The person I am doing is very important to this world and made a very miraculous impact on our lives. His name is Francisco Vázquez de Coronado. I will talk more about him in the following paragraph.

 

Coronado for short was a regular boy just like you and me. He is not that famous most people do not know him. By the end of this report you will feel like you were his friend. He was alive during 1510 and died during the year 1554. So basically he was about 44 years old; not very old. Also did you know that he was born in Spain? Overall he wanted to discover the Spanish empire. Coronado was born into a family of nobles. This kind of made him have an advantage of being a successful hunt to be famous. Around the age of 30 he got married to the daughter of the colonial treasurer. This was also another advantage.

 

 

Do you wonder what he actually did to help our world become a better place? It all started with rumors going around about these 7 cites of gold. Coronado actually believed these rumors. After hearing them he decided to build an army. There were at least 300 Spanish soldiers and over 1,000 Indians. During his exploration he discovered the Colorado river and also explored the grand canyon. Over time these places turned into Arizona and New Mexico. That is great because he really set out his life to discover the world and provide us with places for entertainment. Finally, he had returned back home where he had come from. He had accomplished nothing. He was very disappointed in himself.

 

 

He has done various other accomplishments. During some of his voyages they were very horrible in weather and conditions it was very hard to survive. That usually happens to most people when they go out to the world and discover something new. He actually did kind of accomplish something he was really educated. This is really important to everyone to accomplish anything sent to our minds. One other fact that you probably did not know that is Coronado was made a governor. After that as I said that he was married and he had EIGHT children. In the beginning he wanted to discover the seven cities and gold. Instead of finding gold he instead he found some types of cattle and some food that helped him live and his crew. Although other people found these he found it for his crew.

So as you can see he is very famous now that you think of it. He really discovered parts of the world for our entertainment. So now when you go to anywhere you should at least think of where did it come from and who was the first person to land on it. This should go for everyone out there. So
