The Adventures of Cabeza de Vaca: A Conquistador in Two Worlds: His Epic Journey Across Uncharted America - Paperback

The Adventures of Cabeza de Vaca depicts the real-world challenges of a 16th-century conquistador who was lost in the Americas and lived with the Indians for nearly a decade. He was constantly torn between his noble, Spanish heritage and his fight to endure among the natives. Told through his voice and fully illustrated, this book is about the seven incidents that transformed his life. Though he conquered no new territory and returned to Spain without gold or silver, his personal account of the journey made him a superstar. His life as a refugee, Indian trader, Christian faith healer, and champion of Indian rights are a testament to human resilience.
