Quick Summary

Haniel Long's Interlinear to Cabeza de Vaca: His Relation of the Journey from Florida to the Pacific retells the 16th-century journey of Spanish explorer Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca.1

Cabeza de Vaca was part of an expedition that reached Florida in 1528 under Pánfilo de Narváez. After a devastating journey, only Cabeza de Vaca and three others survived, spending eight years among Native Americans in the Gulf region of present-day Texas. He later claimed to have acted as a healer to improve his treatment. He eventually made his way back to Mexico in 1536 and documented his experiences in Naufragios (Shipwrecks). Long's work focuses on this harrowing adventure and the resilience of the human spirit.231
