“The Great Explorers, I—Cabeca de Vaca in the Desert,” painted by Frederic Remington. First published in Collier’s, October 14, 1905

            “Alvarez Nunez Cabeca de Vaca was a Spanish hidalgo in Florida with the armament under Narvaez from 1527 to 1537.  He was captured by Indians when the Expedition was destroyed, and together with three soldiers and a Moor they made their way nearly across the continent, and finally to the Spanish settlement in Mexico.  His journey lasted ten years, during which time he was entirely destitute and at the mercy of the savages.”  [Caption accompanying the painting in Collier’s]
