great plains and cause them to perish, The 

 Turk was put in irons, the main force sent 

 back from the upper waters of the Rio 

 Colorado of Texas, where they then were, 

 and another Indian, Ysopete, chosen as 

 guide for the rest of the journey due n. 

 to Quivira, of which province he was a 

 native. Proceeding northward for about 

 thirty days with 30 picked horsemen, 

 Coronado reached a river, which he called 

 SS. Peter and Paul (identified as the 

 Arkansas), the last of June, and pro- 

 ceeded up its X. bank within the jiresent 

 Kansas. This was the beginning of the 

 Quivira country. The surrounding region 

 was traversed during the remainder of 

 the summer, but great disappointment 

 met the Spaniards at the finding of only 

 villages of grass lodges occupied by a 

 semi-agricultural tribe, identified as the 

 Wichita. The Turk was strangled to 

 death as a punishment for his deception. 

 An invitation was sent to the chief, Tat- 

 arrax, of the neighboring province of 

 Harahey, believed to have been the Paw- 

 nee country, and every effort was made 

 by the Spaniards to find traces of the gold 

 in which the region was reputed to 

 abound, but of course without result. 

 The explorers returned to the Rio Grande 

 by a more direct route, evidentlj^ follow- 

 ing, from the Arkansas r., what later 

 became the Santa Fe trail. Coronado 

 continued to Mexico with his army in 

 1542, leaving behind Fray Juan de Pa- 

 dilla, who returned to Quivira, but was 

 murdered by the natives because he 

 planned to leave them and minister to 

 another tribe. The name Quivira soon 

 appeared on the maps of the period, but 

 by reason of the indefiniteness of the 

 knowledge of its situation the locality 

 shifted from the region of the Great 

 Plains to the Pacific coast, and finally 

 settled, in the form La Gran Quivira, at 

 the ruins of the forgotten Piro settle- 

 ment of Tabira, e. of the Rio Grande in 

 New Mexico, at which a Franciscan mis- 

 sion was established in 1629.
