Description
Produced by the Federal Writers' Project in Nebraska.
Legends related to Spanish exploration of Nebraska. As stated in the pamphlet: "Some truth and much fiction are indiscriminately mixed in these narratives. The various accounts of the edpeitions differ to such an extent in dates, incidents, and geographical placements that they are classified as legends. Enough facts common to all the narratives and corresponding with other actual data make them historical legends".
Includes The Seven Cities of Cibola, The Land of Quivira, The Expedition of Don Diego Dionisio de Peñalosa, and The Villasur Expedition.
