First-person account by Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca about his expedition to Florida in 1527 and his subsequent odyssey through American lands. This book narrates the difficulties faced by the expeditionaries, from the loss of their ships to their captivity and eventual liberation. An ethnographic chronicle of great value that describes the customs and languages of the indigenous peoples encountered during their journey through the south of the current United States.
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.
