Schmidt published a narrative of his voyage under the title "Warhafftige und liebliche Beschreibung etclieher furnemen Indianischen Landschafften und Insulen, die vormals in keiner Chronicken gedacht, und erstlich in der schiffart Ulrici Schmidts von Straubingen, mit grosser gefahr erkundigt, und von ihm selber auffs fleissigst beschrieben und dargethan."

The second was a Spaniard, native of Jerez de la Frontera in Andalusia, named Alvar Nunez, better known by the surname which he took from his mother, Dona Teresa Cabeza de Vaca. Nunez published a narrative of the events that had happened to him during his term of office, viz., from 1541 to 1544. This record, the first published on the conquest of the Rio de la Plata and Paraguai, appeared in Valladolid in 1555, under the general title "Relacion y Comentarios de Alcar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca, de lo acaecido en las dos jornadas que hizo a las Indias. The Relacion refers to his adventures in Florida, and was first published in 1542,1 while the Comentarios appeared as a second part of the new edition of his voyages under the title just mentioned.
