"Coronado's Children: Tales of Lost Mines and Buried Treasures of the Southwest" is a seminal collection of folklore and legends that captures the enduring spirit of adventure in the American West. Written by the renowned folklorist J. Frank Dobie, the work dives deep into the myths of hidden riches and forgotten silver mines that have captivated explorers and dreamers since the days of the Spanish conquistadors.

This evocative volume traces the lore of the Southwest, spanning the rugged landscapes of Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona. Dobie chronicles the obsessive quests of those who followed in the mythical footsteps of Coronado, searching for the legendary Seven Cities of Cibola or the lost riches of the San Saba mine. Through meticulous research and masterful storytelling, the author presents a vivid tapestry of local oral traditions, maps, and tall tales that define the cultural heritage of the region.

Combining historical record with the atmospheric quality of campfire stories, "Coronado's Children" remains a definitive resource for anyone fascinated by the intersection of history and legend. It explores the psychological allure of the search for fortune and the rugged individualism of the prospectors who braved the desert in pursuit of their dreams.
