Beskrivelse

The work is a research work, exposed within the literary essay genre, of a study on the history of the first Spanish excursion in North America by land from 1528 to 1536, as described by Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca one of the members of that group of expeditionaries led by Pánfilo de Narváez, but related to the legends of the Yaqui nation; these Spanish expeditionaries with the purpose of conquest left Cuba sailing with hurricane winds through the Florida peninsula in the Gulf of Mexico, where when they disembarked they had problems with the local and Appalachian tribes. They penetrated inland through the states of Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana, until they reached Matagorda Bay in Texas, all in the United States, from where they sailed in boats made by themselves along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico, with which they were shipwrecked, finally remaining as slaves of the Indians from where after six years four of them were able to escape, always trying to reach the Pánuco River towards the south.
