First-person account by Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca about his expedition to Florida in 1527 and his subsequent odyssey across North America. After shipwrecking near the coast of Texas, Cabeza de Vaca and his companions faced numerous dangers, including hunger, disease, and the hostility of some native tribes. For eight years, they wandered through unknown lands, surviving thanks to their ingenuity and adaptability, until they finally managed to return to civilization. This book is a testament to resilience, survival, and intercultural encounter in the New World.
Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca was a Spanish explorer of the New World, and one of four survivors of the 1527 Narváez expedition. During eight years of traveling across what is today the Southwestern United States, he became a trader, evangelist, and faith healer to various Native American tribes before reconnecting with Spanish civilization in Mexico in 1536.
