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.
