This edition of Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca's Relacion offers
readers Rolena Adorno and Patrick Charles Pautz's celebrated
translation of Cabeza de Vaca's account of the 1527 Panfilo de
Narvaez expedition to North America. The dramatic narrative tells
the story of some of the first Europeans and the first-known
African to encounter the North American wilderness and its Native
inhabitants. It is a fascinating tale of survival against the
highest odds, and it highlights Native Americans and their
interactions with the newcomers in a manner seldom seen in writings
of the period. 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. Purchase the audio edition.
