Billings, MT: Council for Indian Education, 1990 Council for Indian Education, Billings, MT. 1990. Hardcover. First Edition. Book is tight, square, and unmarked. Book Condition: VG+; light bumping to lower front tips; two small splash stains on fore edge. No DJ as issued. Maroon cloth boards and spine with bright gilt lettering on spine and front board. 187 pp 8vo. This book is an enthralling epic that brings to life the time of the Spanish conquistadors and their quest to find the cities of gold, a quest that ended in failure.
