Spanish Explorers in the Southern United States, 1528-1543 : The Narrative of Alvar Nunez Cabeca de Vaca. The Narrative of the Expedition of Hernando De Soto by the Gentleman of Elvas

The exploration of America started a race between the strongest counties of Europe that were competing in search of wealth, gold, and new lands. The early explorers were forced to overcome the hardships of long sea travels, wild forests, and the opposition of the local tribes who opposed the conquerors. This book includes the narratives of the three Spanish explorers that researched the territory of the Southern United States.
