While he is in jail, Esteban de Sandoval tells his tale of traveling with Coronado and his army to explore the Southwest. He describes the power of greed and gold that takes a hold of him and the conquistadors.
My twelve year old read this book to himself to support our study of the conquistadors. He thought it was a good story. He did not, however, appreciate how Esteban turns to evil actions. Fortunately, he changes for the good by the end of the adventure.
