The oft-discussed historical question as to Coronado’s route of march in 1541 from the Rio Grande pueblos to the settlements of Quivira is re-examined in light of documentary research, hitherto unpublished, by the late J. R. Swanton of the Bureau of American Ethnology. A collation of all available narratives casts strong doubt on Schroeder’s 1962 theory that the expedition at no time traveled south of the Canadian River, and instead supports older interpretations by Hodge, Bolton, and others who maintained that the expedition separated far south of that stream. The documentary evidence, like that from archaeology, supports the view that the 16th century province of Ouivira was the home of ancestral Wichita Indians residing in central Kansas along the great bend of the Arkansas River
