May 1541, Spanish explorer Francisco Vásquez de Coronado halted his expedition for four days while they built a bridge across the Pecos River while on their search for the fabled riches of Quivera in the plains of Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas. In early 1542, the disillusioned explorers returned to Mexico.
