Episode 316

Lost Cities of El Norte

This week on History Happy Hour: In 1540, an expedition of 2000 explorers headed north from the ruins of the Aztec capital Tenochtitlan into the unknown. Led by Francisco Coronado, their journey took them across a great swath of the US from California to Kansas, while sparking violent cultural clashes and battles with Native American Pueblo populations.

We’ll talk about the impact of their epic journey with Peter Stark, author of The Lost Cities of El Norte.

Sunday, at 4PM ET on History Happy Hour, where history is always on tap.
