| Fray Agustin heard that thousands of souls in a far country were in need of conversion. He went to see the Viceroy, Lorenzo Surez de Mendoza, Conde de Coruna, about an expedition to that new country far away and to get capital to proceed there to see if he and others similar to him might be able to convert some of the Indians. After explaining to the Viceroy his mission to Cibola, Lorenzo Surez Mendoza decided to grant him a license. But foremost he wanted the brother to know about another expedition that had taken place in that same country forty years ago. Agustin listened intently to the story. Then he informed the Viceroy that wealth of gold was not in his plan, but that he was more interested in the saving of souls.
Once the three friars, the captain, and the rest of the expedition were on their way to Cibola, the trail became long and rough. While there they stumbled upon a knoll of earth and remains of what had been burned, but no life stirred in the village. This particularly caused the brothers to get a little on the irritable side. In those ashes the men discovered remains of not only animals but also human remains. Had they made an error in going to Cibola? Will the determination of the men cause them to fall into a trap and not get back alive? What actually happened there? Another thing that became very interesting too is when the expedition chose an Indian woman to guide them. Things pick up after that. The plot kept a steady pace as each scene opened and showed richly graphic details to the mind of the reader. The pursuit of the excursion was non-stop. The author's investigation into the history of Seven Cities of Mud was very important to the reader. A must read! | |||
