Published in 1542 to an astonished and captivated public, Chronicle
of the Narvaez Expedition tells the unforgettable story of a
sixteenth-century soldier turned explorer who, along with three
other survivors of a shipwreck, makes his way across an unknown
geographic and cultural landscape. This Norton Critical Edition is
based on David Frye's new translation. It is accompanied by Ilan
Stavan's introduction, the translator's preface, the editor's
detailed explanatory annotations, and a map tracing Cabeza de
Vaca's journey from Florida to California. "Alternative Narratives
and Sequels" enriches the reader's understanding of and
appreciation for Cabeza de Vaca's chronicle, which can be read both
as historical record and as fiction (Cabeza de Vaca having written
his account years after the events took place). Gonzalo Fernandez
de Oviedo y Valdez's General and Natural History of the Indies
(1535) provides a different account of the same journey, while
sequels can be found in a 1539 letter from the Viceroy of New Spain
to the Emperor and in Fray Marcos de Niza's Relacion on the
Discovery of the Kingdom of Cibola (1539). The Spanish explorers,
soldiers, and missionaries of the period saw the New World as a
place of enchantment, riches, and opportunity. This spirit is
captured in "Contexts" with documents including a 1493 letter from
Christopher Columbus to a potential benefactor of his future
travels; Hernan Cortes's 1520 letter from Mexico; and an excerpt
from Fray Bartolome's Brief Account of the Destruction of the
Indies (1542). A selection from Miguel Leon Portilla's Broken
Spears provides readers with the viewpoint of the vanquished.
"Criticism" includes five major assessments of Chronicle of the
Narvaez Expedition spanning eighty years. Contributors include
Morris Bishop, Rolena Adorno and Patrick Charles Pautz, Paul
Schneider, Andres Resendez, and Beatriz Rivera-Barnes. A
Chronology, Selected Bibliography, and Index are also included.

In 1526 Carlos I of Spain granted Panfilo de Narvaez a license to
claim what is now the Gulf Coast of the United States. Panfilo de
Narvaez set sail in 1527 to conquer and settle present day Florida.
Setting out with a crew of approximately 600 members ultimately
only four members would survive the ill-fated expedition. The
journey would take these four survivors from Spain to Hispaniola
and Cuba and then onto Florida. Sailing through a hurricane and
other storms the expedition would finally land near Tampa Bay.
Suffering from Indian attacks and the effects of poor food and
disease the crew, of which there was now only eighty, decided to
sail from Florida to Mexico. In 1536, the four survivors-Alvar
Nunez Cabeza de Vaca, Alonso del Castillo Maldonado, Andres
Dorantes de Carranza, and his enslaved Moor Estevanico-finally
managed to rejoin Spanish countrymen in present-day Mexico City.
Upon returning to Spain Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca would receive
considerable notoriety for his published account of the ordeal.

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.

Naufragios describe una de las mas grandes aventuras que un humano
haya vivido alguna vez. Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca fue un
explorador espanol nacido en Jerez de la Frontera (Cadiz) hacia
1490. Pocas vidas han sido tan ricas en aventuras como la de este
hombre. En 1527 fue miembro de una expedicion integrada por 300
hombres y capitaneada por Panfilo de Narvaez. En 1528 llegaron a la
bahia de Tampa, y de alli se dirigieron por tierra hacia Mexico.
Despues de seis anos de cautiverio, Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca y
otros tres expedicionarios lograron huir de sus captores en 1535, y
recorrieron el sudoeste estadounidense y norte de Mexico hasta
llegar a un poblado a orillas del rio Sinaloa. A su regreso a
Espana en 1537, la corona lo nombro Gobernador del Virreinato del
Rio de la Plata. Entre 1541 y 1542 estuvo al frente de una
expedicion del Brasil, y descubrio las Cataratas del Iguazu. En
1544 volvio a Espana bajo arresto por oponerse al uso de tanta
barbarie contra los indios, alli lo desterraron al Africa hasta
1556, cuando obtuvo el perdon por parte del rey Felipe II, quien lo
nombro presidente del tribunal supremo de Sevilla, donde se radico
en un monasterio sevillano. Fallecio en Sevilla hacia 1560.
Naufragios cuenta su primera aventura en America del Norte.
