Richard Flint, Ph.D., and Shirley Cushing Flint, MA, are both historians and Spanish paleographers who have worked as a collaborative research and writing team for more than four decades. Their focus is on the early Spanish colonial period in the American Southwest and northwest Mexico, with special interest in the Coronado expedition of 1539-1542. They have published nine books and scores of journal articles on the subject of the expedition, its precursors, successors, participants, motivations, and consequences, as wll as the Native peoples who were impacted by the expedition. For more than a decade in the 1990s and 2000s they served as consultants to the archaeological investigation by Wichita State University of the Jimmy Owens site in the Texas South Plains, a major campsite of the Coronado expedition. Their work has been recognized with many awards, including the Byron S Cummings Award from the Arizona Archaeological and Historical Society. Both are visiting faculty at the Latin American and Iberian Institute of the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque.
