Men of Metal and Crosses

This is a story of the European sailors, soldiers and priests who conquered the Americas. The native people living on this land had never seen the terrible weapons brought by these foreigners—horses, cannons, crossbows, muskets and hardened-steel swords along with a new religion brought by priests who spoke of humility rather than human sacrifices.  


From the four voyages of Christopher Columbus to the army of Cortes marching into the lands of Montezuma and Mexico. From the search for the seven cities of Cibola to the march of de Anza from Mexico to San Francisco.  


This is real history!
