Chronicle
of the Narvaez Expedition (Penguin Classics)
by Alvar Nunez Cabeza De Vaca, Harold Augenbraum
With an introduction by Ilan Stavans.
Book Description: This riveting true story is the first major narrative
detailing the exploration of North America by Spanish conquistadors (1528-1536).
The author, Alvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca, was a fortune-seeking Spanish
nobleman and the treasurer of an expedition sent to claim for Spain a vast
area of today's southern United States. In simple, straightforward prose,
Cabeza de Vaca chronicles the nine-year odyssey endured by the men after
a shipwreck forced them to make a westward journey on foot from present-day
Florida through Louisiana and Texas into California. In thirty-eight brief
chapters, Cabeza de Vaca describes the scores of natural and human obstacles
they encountered as they made their way across an unknown land. Cabeza
de Vaca's gripping account offers a trove of ethnographic information,
including descriptions and interpretations of native cultures, making it
a powerful precursor to modern anthropology.
