In 1528, a objective set out from Spain to colonize Florida. However the expedition gone horribly wrong: Delayed by way of a hurricane, knocked off course by way of a colossal mistake of navigation, and eventually doomed by way of a disastrous decision to separate the men using their company ships, the objective quickly became a eager journey of success. On the 300 men who had embarked on the quest, only four survived - three Spaniards and an African slave. This little strap endured a horrific march through Florida, a harrowing raft passing across the Louisiana coast, and years of enslavement in the American Southwest. They journeyed for almost 10 years in search of the Pacific Ocean that could guide them home, plus they were forever transformed by their experience. The men resided with a variety of nomadic Indians and discovered several indigenous languages. They saw lands, peoples, plant life, and family pets that no outsider had ever before seen before. Within this enthralling story of four castaways wandering in an unfamiliar land, Andres Resndez brings to life the vast, dynamic world of THE UNITED STATES just a couple of years before Western settlers would transform it forever.
