Following Coronado's Lost Trail Across Arizona and New Mexico

The Spanish explorer Francisco Vasquez de Coronado traveled across southwest Arizona and southwest New Mexico in June of 1540. In this video I follow the Coronado expeditions trail across what would have been the hottest and driest part of their journey.

More information about Coronado's path through this area can be found on my blog at https://ancientpottery.how/category/c...

My new book discusses Coronado's expedition and it's implications to the late prehistoric Southwest. You can find my book titled "Mud Puzzles" at https://ancientpottery.how/product/bo...
