### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A Marvelous Adventure?
  

*by E***E on Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2021*

The reading of it yes, the living of it no. This is an excellent condensation of Adorno and Pautz' exhaustive volumes of the travails of Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca's life in North America. (It only summarizes the events of his further struggles as the Governor of the Río de la Plata in South America.) It is an engaging read of an extraordinarily failed mission as Cabeza de Vaca and three other survivors make their way across the continent on an eight-year trek. The account is expertly annotated and skillfully translated. And it refrains from making Cabeza de Vaca into a modern, cult-like figure, like many other interpretations have done. Instead the book allows the events to speak for themselves, as it were. This a truly engrossing read of one of the great tragedies of human encounters. I recommend it with every chance I get.

    The Narrative of Cabeza De Vaca
  

*by E***D on Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2011*

I give this book four stars and not five because I find the introdution to be kind of long and tedious.  Please don't misinterpret what I'm saying for the introduction is used to lay out a much needed backround that truly does help to understand the narrative.  I just found it to be difficult to keep my attention focused on it.As a history buff though, I thouroughly enjoy reading history through the words and eyes  of those who created it.  Bravo!

*by G***R on Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2012*

This book arrive fairly promptly and is in good shape.  It was everything I expected with no surprises, which is good.  The large amount of footnotes was helpful and the narrative itself is very fascinating.  I was interested in the flora and fauna in the Southwest during this period and it was well described.  A book for history buffs, fans of Southwest history and those interested in survival stories.
