ADOBE CENTORI and THE SILVER MEDALLION – In 1540, Spanish Conquistadors ventured from Mexico City to New Spain’s northern regions. The captain general of this expedition was Francisco Vasquez de Coronado. He was driven to lead an expedition by stories of the lost city of Cibola that contain GOLD. Adobe Centori was skeptical about a story from pueblo leader Justo Calabaza who claims that the Cibola is within the Circle C Ranch boundaries. Along with foreman Francisco Griegos and Calabaza, Centori pursues the lost gold mine. Carlene Cortina, a beautiful barnstorming pilot wings Centori through the skies in search of the mythical fetish bear: the entrance to Cibola. Intrigue ensues as Santa Fe Sharon joins Carmencita to find the gold mine. Unknown to her, Sharon seeks more than gold—she wants revenge.
