I bought this after reading a little about Cabeza de Vaca in another book (Richard Grant's American Nomads -check it out).

One of it's most interesting features to me was Cabeza de Vaca 's thinking. By today's standards, he's still a racist, but for his time, he's outrageously sympathetic to the Indians and their ways of life.

This edition of Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca 57;s Relación offers readers Rolena Adorno and Patrick Charles Pautz's celebrated translation of Cabeza de Vaca 57;s account of the 1527 PÁnfilo de NarvÁez 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.

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 57;s world. They also provide explanatory notes, which resolve many of the narrative57;s most perplexing questions. This highly readable translation fires the imagination and illuminates the enduring appeal of Cabeza de Vaca 57;s experience for a modern audience (www.amazon.com....racious-20)
Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca , c.1490-c.1557, Spanish explorer. Cabeza de Vaca [cow's head] was not actually a surname but a hereditary title in his mother's family; he is frequently called simply Álvar Núñez. (www.encyclopedia.com....ezade.html)
After returning to Spain, Cabeza de Vaca was appointed governor of the Río de la Plata region and reached Asunción after an overland journey from the Brazilian coast in 1542. His South American career was sadly different from that in North America. He got into trouble with the popular Domingo Martínez de Irala , and after he returned from a journey up the Paraná River to Bolivia, he was arrested, accused of high-handed practices, imprisoned for two years, and sent back to Spain. There he was found guilty but was pardoned by the king. Cabeza de Vaca wrote his own account of the South American events in his Comentarios (1555) (www.encyclopedia.com....ezade.html)
