No Settlement, No Conquest: A History of the Coronado Entrada. By Richard Flint. (Albuquerque: University of New Mexico Press, 2008. xviii, 358 pp. $29.95, ISBN 978-0-8263-4362-8.)
The entrada of 1540–1542 was the first major organized Spanish adventure into the interior of the American Southwest. Commanded by Juan Vásquez de Coronado, it sought out the legendary Cibola and Quivira and eventually reached as far east as the great bend of the Arkansas River. The Coronado entrada has undergone extensive study since at least the latter part of the nineteenth century, and in the process it has been much romanticized and often misunderstood. Yet there has been no new complete history of this entrada published in more than half a century.	1
Richard Flint's impressive account of the Coronado entrada remedies this situation by bringing together current archaeological inquiries, more traditional sources, and over three decades of his own research in the Americas and Europe. Flint is a research associate in history at the Center for Desert Archaeology in Tucson, Arizona, and the author/editor of two previous well-received volumes on the Coronado entrada and its source materials. At the opening of the book, he acknowledges the assistance of, and previous collaborations with, his wife and fellow historian, Shirley Cushing Flint, that underlie this volume.	. . .
