Member of a 600-man expedition sent out from Spain to colonize "La Florida" in 1527, he survived a failed exploration of the west coast of Florida, an open-boat crossing of the Gulf of Mexico, shipwreck on the Texas coast, six years of captivity among native peoples, and an arduous, overland journey in which he and the three other remaining survivors of the original expedition walked some 1,500 miles from the central Texas coast to the Gulf of California, then another 1,300 miles to Mexico City. The story of Cabeza de Vaca has been told many times, beginning with his own account, Relación de los naufragios, which was included and amplified in Gonzalo Fernando de Oviedo y Váldez's Historia general de las Indias. Yet the route taken by Cabeza de Vaca and his companions remains the subject of enduring controversy. In this book, Alex D. Krieger correlates the accounts in these two primary sources with his own extensive knowledge of the geography, archaeology, and anthropology of southern Texas and northern Mexico to plot out stage by stage the most probable route of the 2,800-mile journey of Cabeza de Vaca. This book consists of several parts, foremost of which is the original English version of Alex Krieger's dissertation (edited by Margery Krieger), in which he traces the route of Cabeza de Vaca and his companions from the coast of Texas to Spanish settlements in western Mexico. This document is rich in information about the native groups, vegetation, geography, and material culture that the companions encountered. Thomas R. Hester's foreword and afterword set the 1955 dissertation in the context of more recent scholarship and archaeological discoveries, some of which have supported Krieger's plot of the journey. Margery Krieger's preface explains how she prepared her late husband's work for publication. Alex Krieger's original translations of the Cabeza de Vaca and Oviedo accounts round out the volume. 410 0$aTexas archaeology and ethnohistory series. 606 $aIndians of North America$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aIndians of North America$zSouthwest, New$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aNatural history$zNorth America 606 $aNatural history$zSouthwest, New 607 $aAmerica$xDiscovery and exploration$xSpanish 607 $aAmerica$vEarly works to 1800 607 $aNorth America$xDescription and travel$vEarly works to 1800 607 $aSouthwest, New$xDescription and travel$vEarly works to 1800 615 0$aIndians of North America$xHistory 615 0$aIndians of North America$xHistory 615 0$aNatural history 615 0$aNatural history 676 $a970.01/6 700 $aKrieger$b Alex D$g(Alex Dony),$f1911-1991.$0185522 701 $aKrieger$b Margery H$01467502 701 2$aNu?n?ez Cabeza de Vaca$b Alvar$f16th cent.$0395349 701 2$aFerna?ndez de Oviedo$b Gonzalo$f1478-1557.$0176357 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777512203321 996 $aWe came naked and barefoot$93678171 997 $aUNINA
