Dear Reid - Good work on this. You have the narrative well laid out and the parts of the article make sense to explain de Niza's story - so this is already much better than what was there. You need some better sources to cite in the sections about why de Niza was there. There is a lot of background you could use and some good leads to sources in Robert Goodwin, Crossing the Continent, 1527-1547 - we have it in the library and it is most about Esteban, the slave who was with De Niza, it will be useful. There is also a recent article that is available online through the OU Library website.: Matthew F. Schmader. "The Peace That Was Granted Had Not Been Kept." New Mexico and the Pimería Alta. U of Colorado, 2017. 49. Web.

Keep chugging along finding sources. There are lots of translations of his expedition available online and in the library, and the introductions to those are usually helpful.
