PAPER

An account of Cabeza de Vaca's 16th-century epic adventures in the New World. Only a handful of men survived the eight-year, 6,000-mile expedition across America from Tampa bay to Sinaloa, Mexico. They were the first Europeans to set foot in the interior of Florida, Texas, New Mexico and Northernmost Mexico. In this English-language edition, reproduced from their award-winning three-volume set, Adorno and Pautz supplement the engrossing account with a general introduction that orients the reader to Cabeza de Vaca's world. They also provide explanatory notes, which resolve many of the narrative's most perplexing questions. This highly readable translation fires the imagination and illuminates the enduring appeal of Cabeza de Vaca's experience for a modern audience.
