"Schneider's thorough research and vivid writing create a
fast-paced, moving story, one that is difficult to believe and
impossible to forget." --"The New York Times Book Review" A
gripping survival epic, "Brutal Journey" tells the story of an army
of would-be conquerors, bound for glory, who landed in Florida in
1528. But only four of the four hundred would survive: eight years
and some five thousand miles later, three Spaniards and a black
Moroccan wandered out of the wilderness to the north of the Rio
Grande and into Cortes's gold-drenched Mexico. The survivors
brought nothing back other than their story, but what a tale it
was. They had become killers and cannibals, torturers and torture
victims, slavers and enslaved. They became faith healers, arms
dealers, canoe thieves, spider eaters. They became, in other words,
whatever it took to stay alive.
