From the Publisher
The significance of the journeys of Francisco Vsquez de Coronado in what is now the American Southwest is still too often overlooked or undervalued by students of American and world history. Former U.S. congressman and Secretary of the Interior Stewart L. Udall and award-winning photographer Jerry Jacka set out to retrace the steps of this great explorer and redress this skewed historical view. Majestic Journey: Coronado's Inland Empire carefully chronicles the great explorer's seminal travels across these lands and among the native peoples and captures anew the wonder with which this European party must have regarded all they saw. Originally published in 1987 by Doubleday and Co. as To the Inland Empire, Majestic Journey, now packaged and priced for a wider general readership, includes a new selection of photographs, maps, and a new preface by the author.
