Written in 1930, Coronado's Children was one of J. Frank Dobie's
first books, and the one that helped gain him national prominence
as a folklorist. In it, he recounts the tales and legends of those
hardy souls who searched for buried treasure in the Southwest
following in the footsteps of that earlier gold seeker, the
Spaniard Coronado.
"These people," Dobie writes in his introduction, "no matter
what language they speak, are truly Coronado's inheritors.... l
have called them Coronado's children. They follow Spanish trails,
buffalo trails, cow trails, they dig where there are no trails; but
oftener than they dig or prospect they just sit and tell stories of
lost mines, of buried bullion by the jack load..."
This is the tale-spinning Dobie at his best, dealing with
subjects as irresistible as ghost stories and haunted houses.
