For half a millennium, stories of vast treasures-- El Dorado, Manoa, the Seven Cities of Cibola, the Lost Dutchman Mine--have been part of the lore of the Americas. In Cities of Gold: Legendary Kingdoms, Quixotic Quests, and Fantastic New World Wealth, Bill Yenne takes the reader from the rainforests and mountains of Peru, Paraguay, Brazil, and Guiana to the deserts and peaks of Mexico and the United States to tell the extraordinary, and often brutal story of how the search for mysterious New World riches fueled the exploration of an unknown hemisphere for hundreds of years.
