Francisco Vasquez de Coronado, the intrepid Spanish explorer, embarked on his expedition to Cibola and Quivira in 1540, as depicted in this German map from the 19th century. But long before Coronado's journey, another Vasquez, Tiburcio, roamed the American Southwest during the late 1800s, becoming a notorious bandit and folk hero. In Mexico, the name Vasquez holds a rich history, from the political cartoons of the Mexican Revolution, where the 'Gardener' mastered the presidency, to the genealogy and landholdings of the Spanish conquistadors, such as Francisco. Yet, the Native American cultures, like the Chicoreans who defeated the Spanish explorer D. Ayllon in 1515, or the Lubaantun people whose artifacts are displayed in the British Museum, have their own unique stories to tell about the Vasquez legacy. From the Coronado Expedition to the Miami Poltergeist Case and beyond, the name Vasquez continues to intrigue and inspire.
