Detailed explanation-1: -With El Turco in chains, a smaller contingent of thirty horsemen and six foot-soldiers followed Ysopete, a Wichita Indian slave, north through the Texas and Oklahoma panhandles and Kansas; eventually, in July 1541 they found Quivira, a squalid village of Wichita Indians, presumably near present Wichita, Kansas.
Detailed explanation-2: -Coronado led a group of soldiers to find the city of Quivira. He had heard people say that the streets of Quivira were paved with gold. It was during this journey that Coronado came to the land that today is Kansas. He came as far as the great bend of the Arkansas River.
Detailed explanation-3: -In July 1540, Coronado and his men came upon what they thought was their first discovery of the golden cities of Cibola. What they actually came upon was the Native American pueblos of present day New Mexico Zuñi tribe.
