The Spanish Exploration of 1527
Imagine it’s 1527, you’re in the wilderness with hostile indian tribes all around you with no supplies or materials. This is exactly what Cabeza de Vaca went through. The exploration started with 400 members and went down to 4. Cabeza de Vaca was one of the men within these 4.
Five spanish ships left the port of Seville on a expedition of “The New World” (The Americas). The ships arrived at Apalachee bay disappointed.
