The story of Fray Marcos and the Seven Cities of Cíbola was a favorite of Adolph Bandelier (1840–1914).

Because of his extensive work on the Frijoles Canyon Anasazi complex, Bandelier National Monument, between Santa Fe and Los Alamos, carries his name.

In the first field he was in a part of his work connected with the Hemenway Archaeological Expedition and in the second worked for Henry Villar
