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

1871réf. 57834New York. 1871. One of 100 Copies The greatly expanded posthumously-published second edition of Buckingham Smith's translation of Cabeça de Vaca from an edition limited to 100 copies. The original text describes the first recorded journey by Europeans across North America recounting the author's adventures with the Narvaez expedition to Florida in 1527 his capture and escape from natives on the Mississippi coast and his later overland journey across Texas before finally making his way back to Spanish controlled lands in Mexico. The original work was the first on Texas and the first American travel account. This edition is greatly expanded from the original which was also published in a limited edition of 100 copies of 1851 and includes nearly one hundred pages of Smith's notes and additions. Buckingham Smith was an eminent scholar of Spanish America as well as a slaveholder who nonetheless sided with the Union during the Civil War. After his death he dedicated his estate to the establishment of the Buckingham Smith Benevolent Association an organization which was dedicated to supporting African Americans in St. Augustine and which continues to carry out that mission today. "The sudden death of the talented translator occurring while these sheets were passing through the press filled the hearts of many bibliophiles with sadness" - Field. This copy bears the bookplate of "Mrs. John V. L. Pruyn" i.e. Anna Fenn Parker on the front pastedown. John Pruyn was a businessman from Albany who represented New York as a pro-Union Democrat in the House from 1863-1865 and again from 1867-1869. He also laid the first stone in the New York State Capitol and was Chancellor of the Board of Regents for the University of the State of New York from 1862 to 1877. Anna Fenn Parker 1840-1909 was his second wife and the daughter of the prominent upstate New York lawyer judge and congressman Amasa J. Parker. Large octavo.
