The first major exploration of the North American continent began
in Florida in April 1528. Panfilo de Narvaez led an inland
expedition with 300 men. Only four survived. The courageous quartet
endured an astonishing eight-year odyssey, traversing more than
3,500 miles from Florida to the shores of the Pacific Ocean. One of
the survivors, Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca wrote his book, the
Relacion, in 1542, detailing their amazing journey. Yet, precisely
where this expedition began has long been debated by researchers
and historians. In this book, author James E. MacDougald provides
an analysis of published research and a new investigation, finally
establishing that one of America's most important historic events
began in present-day St. Petersburg, on the shores of Boca Ciega
Bay. Based on MacDougald's years of study, he adds a new and
independent analysis, using research resources not available to
many previous historians that details one of the most important
Spanish expeditions in North America.
