Book Reviews of Cities of Gold: A Journey Across the American Southwest
Book Review: Wonderfully Surprising Book
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book to give to a friend who loves the Southwest and its history. I opened it one night just to get a taste of the story because Preston is one of my favorite fiction writers.
I was hooked and I haven't put the book down since. It is a story full of adventure and mystery and it is teeming with history. But there is humor and honesty too as the men travel in unfamiliar territory on horses they are not used to riding.
This gets my highest rating. If you like adventure, if you love the southwest, if you love the early history of the west, this is a book you will love!
Summary of Cities of Gold: A Journey Across the American Southwest
This riveting true story recounts the authors journey on horseback across Arizona and New Mexico, retracing Coronados desperate search for the legendary Seven Cities of Gold. First published in 1992 and now available only from UNM Press, this classic adventure tale reveals the Southwest as it was when Europeans first saw it and shows how much, and how little, it has changed. The great myth of the American West, Preston writes, is that there was a winning of it.Mexico Books
