Ancient Pueblo Town of Zuni, Western New Mexico, "In this town there may be some 200 houses, all compassed with walls; and I think that with the rest of the houses, which are not so walled, there may be some 500. They are very excellent, good houses, of three or four or five lofts high, wherein are good lodgings and fair chambers, with ladders instead of stairs. The people of this town seem to me of reasonable stature and witty. In this place is found some quantity of gold and silver, very good; also turquoise ear-rings, combs, and tablets set with turquoise. That which these Indians worship is the water, for they say it causeth their corn to grow. Coronado, Captain General, 1540."
