notes:
Text discusses Pedro de Alvarado's quest to find Cibola, a fictitious city of gold. While searching for the city, he and his army attacked a Chichimec stronghold on top of a hill. The Chichimec Indians had been terrorizing the Spanish at Guadalajara in a revolt called the Mistón Rebellion. When attacked they rolled boulders and tree trunks down the hill which caused Alvarado to be thrown from his mount and crushed. He subsequently died of his wounds.This image is similar to Theodor de Bry, America, part 5, plate 22.This image follows the special title page for Antonio de Herrera y Tordesillas, Seer aanmerkelijke scheeps-togten, gedaan door Franciscus Pizarrus, en Didacus Almagrus, van Panama na Peru ... , Leiden, 1706.This collection of voyages consists of 127 parts, each having a special title page, separate pagination, and register. The voyages covering the period from 1246 to 1696 are arranged chronologically.
