The Brave Journey
Being in a journey to somewhere you don’t know where it is can be dangerous.
You don’t know the routes of the land, the rough terrain, and the unfriendly Native Americans you might run into. Cabeza de Vaca did exactly that. He was a man that wanted to establish settlement in the “New Land”. A land they wanted to scout to find gold and other valuable resources.
His crew set sail to the new land in Seville, Spain in 1527 and brought 5 ships with 400 men with him to the journey and had a conquistador named Panfilo de Narvaez. Their ships crashed on November, 1528 on the coast of Texas where we now call call Galveston Island, TX. They tried to find a way to get to Mexico City and took hollowed out horse legs as water canisters.
