Explanation:
Francisco Vázquez de Coronado y Luján, often known as Coronado or Vázquez de Coronado was a Spanish conquistador who explored a large area expanding from Mexico to present-day Kansas. He conducted his expedition between 1540 and 1542. Coronado was trying to find the mythical cities of gold that were believed to exist in the North. He was the first European to contact some Native groups, such as the Apache and the Caddoan. However, his expedition did not leave a permanent mark on the culture of these people.
