Despite his loneliness and discouragement, he carried on as best as he could and served in any possible way that he could. He was always in the shadow of his brother missionaries. “But in the lasting inner turmoil of his years in the mission country, in the loathing and the revulsion of spirit, in the mental torment of life with the Indians, Chabanel underwent a martyrdom more protracted and more…

According to the information that was presented in the book, Cabeza de Vaca’s and Dorantes-Castillo’s groups got washed up among friendly Indians while the rest of the five groups died of starvation or attacks by Indians on the exact same island. The Native Americans that chose to let the two surviving groups live did not attack them when they arrived, but instead, provided them with food after the well-educated Spaniard Cabeza de Vaca negotiated with either the Capoques or the Hans (he failed to specify exactly which).
