Summary
Niza's journal of his expedition with Estevanico north from Culuacan. He opens with a very brief description of the state of affairs in Culuacan, and then describes his system of communication with Estevanico, who was sent ahead. Much of the description relates to the whereabouts and characteristics of Cibola. Niza records such bits of information as the reaction of the inhabitants along the way as how they touched his clothing and remarked on the peculiarity of the animals. (C. Briggs) (1975)

Notes
Handwritten on top of first page, listed as la tercera parte de las islas por Alonso de Santa Cruz. Ef. Idem cum 121. Vol. m.s. carries page numbers 69-85, the number of photostat pages being twice that. The above information is handwritten on the top of the first page--i presume it to refer to the source as no other is given. note- this version varies from the document from the documentos ineditos del archivo de indias, Vol. III, pp.325 translated by baldwin in nm historical review 1 (2)- 193-223. The other version has, of course, received a great deal of treatment in the published literature.
