Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca was a Spanish explorer of the New World and one of four survivors of the 1527 Narvaez expedition. La Relacion de Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca "The Story of Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca" is the account of his experiences with the Narvaez expedition and after being wrecked on Galveston Island in November 1528. Cabeza de Vaca and his last three men struggled to survive. They wandered along the Texas coast as prisoners of the Han and Capoque American Indians for two years while Cabeza de Vaca observed the people picking up their ways of life and customs. They traveled through the American Southwest and ultimately reached Mexico City nearly eight years after being wrecked on the island. In 1537 Cabeza de Vaca returned to Spain where he wrote his narratives of the Narvaez expedition. These narratives were collected and published in 1542 in Spain. The narrative of Cabeza de Vaca is the "first European book devoted completely to North America. " His detailed account describes the lives of numerous tribes of American Indians of the time. Cabeza de Vaca showed compassion and respect for native peoples which together with the great detail he recorded distinguishes his narrative from others of the period. Cabeza de Vaca reported on the customs and ways of American Indian life aware of his status as an early European explorer. He spent eight years with various peoples including the Capoque Han Avavare and Arbadao. He describes details of the culture of the Malhado people the Capoque and Han American Indians such as their treatment of offspring their wedding rites and their main sources of food. Cabeza de Vaca and his three fellow survivors at times served as slaves to the American Indians to survive. Through his observations Cabeza de Vaca provides insights into 16th-century American Indian life near the present-day Mexico-Texas border. For many peoples the accounts of Cabeza de Vaca and Hernando de Soto are the only written records of their existence. By the time of the next European contact many had vanished possibly from diseases carried by Cabeza de Vaca and his companions. One of Cabeza de Vaca's greatest accomplishments in his journey was bringing peace throughout the land. As the travellers passed from one tribe to the next warring tribes would immediately make peace and become friendly so that the natives could receive the party and give them gifts. Cabeza noted in his personal account of the journey that in this way "We left the whole country in peace. " Cabeza de Vaca saw these events as part of his purpose in America writing that he believed that "God was guiding us to where we could serve Him. " Cabeza de Vaca's greatest challenge as an ambassador came when he attempted to bring peace between the conquering Spanish army and the natives. As Cabeza approached the area of Spanish settlement he and his companions grieved to see the destruction of the native villages and enslavement of the native peoples. The fertile land lay uncultivated and the natives were nearly starving hiding in the forest for fear of the Spanish army. Cabeza de Vaca then encountered Diego de Alcaraz commander of a slaving expedition of about 20 horsemen and attempted to negotiate peace between them and the natives. However as soon as they departed Alcaraz went back on his word and plundered Cabeza de Vaca's entourage of natives that he had sent back home. Not long afterward Cabeza de Vaca encountered the chief alcalde Spanish captain of the province Melchor Diaz. Diaz ordered Cabeza de Vaca . 1929. Grabhorn Press hardcover

"This race was the first 100 mile endurance kart race ever held in California" from the booklet " Vaca Valley existed from 1958 to 1972 as one of the first ‘multi-purpose’ race facilities in the US: A road course with an infield oval and its main straight also in use as the local drag strip. After 1972 the racing stopped here partly due to lack of funding and an ever more bumpy road surface as well as the lure of nearby Riverside. Its remains then were left to waste for over 30 years. Only part of its asphalt is still there now in a nameless field." from Esport Racing DE; Pictured 10/31/25 - Happy Halloween! . 1960. Vaca Valley Raceway paperback

réf. 30652Paris Au Sans Pareil coll. « Littérature » 10 août 1919. 1 vol. 140 x 195 mm de V 32 p. et 4 f. Broché non coupé. . Édition originale. Un des 10 premiers exemplaires sur japon ancien n° 2. . Agent de liaison entre les armées françaises et britanniques blessé en septembre 1915 Jacques Vaché fut hospitalisé à Saint-Dizier où il se lia d'amitié avec deux jeunes internes André Breton et Théodore Fraenkel. Les Lettres de guerre sont dédiées à ce dernier tandis que le Breton en rédige la préface : elles constituent l'oeuvre quasi complète de Vaché mises en forme après qu'il eut juste le temps d'assister à la première des Mamelles de Tirésias avant d'aller s'empoisonner à l'opium à l'Hôtel de France place Graslin à Nantes le 7 janvier 1919. Toutes les exégèses parlent du « suprême détachement » de Vaché de sa capacité à observer notre monde avec une objectivité manifeste qui donne à ses textes une élégance naturelle à laquelle nul travail d'écrivain ne saurait atteindre. Ces superbes lettres graves et légères emplies d'humour ont été écrites entre 1916 et novembre 1918 la dernière étant datée du 26 novembre à peine plus d'un mois avant sa mort. Breton responsable de cette édition - le troisième ouvrage de la collection « Littérature » publiée au Sans Pareil - confia que Jacques Vaché avait contribué à « détourner sa vie de son cours ». De celui qui lui avait révélé l'oeuvre de Jarry il écrivit : « Le temps que j'ai passé avec lui à Nantes en 1916 m'apparaît comme enchanté. . Sans lui j'aurais peut-être été un poète ; il a déjoué en moi ce complot de forces obscures qui mène à se croire quelque chose d'aussi absurde qu'une vocation. » Lettre à Jacques Doucet 20 novembre 1920 Précieux exemplaire de tête en parfaite condition non coupé. De la bibliothèque Pierre Bergé Vente IV n° 931. Paris, Au Sans Pareil, coll. « Littérature », (10 août) 1919. 1 vol. (140 x 195 mm) de V, 32 p. et [4] f. Broché, non cou unknown
