Spanish Exploration in the Southwest, 1542-1706 is a definitive collection of primary source documents detailing the formative era of European discovery in the American Southwest. Edited by the esteemed historian Herbert Eugene Bolton, this volume brings together translated journals, reports, and diaries that chronicle the expeditions of legendary explorers such as Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo, Sebastian Vizcaino, and Father Eusebio Francisco Kino.
The work provides an immersive look into the first encounters between Spanish explorers and the indigenous peoples of present-day California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas. Through these firsthand accounts, readers gain insight into the motivations, hardships, and strategic goals of the Spanish Crown as it sought to expand its northern frontiers. Covering nearly two centuries of history, the collection highlights the exploration of the Pacific coast, the establishment of New Mexico, and the initial missionary efforts in PimerÃ-a Alta.
Essential for students of colonial history and enthusiasts of Western Americana, Spanish Exploration in the Southwest, 1542-1706 preserves the vital records of the expansion of New Spain. Bolton's meticulous editing and introductory notes provide necessary context for understanding these foundational journeys and their lasting impact on the cultural and geopolitical landscape of the United States.
