The Eight Year Odyssey of Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca, Part 1

<p>In what reads more like a 16th century version of Homer's "The Odyssey," our next story is so vast and intriguing that it will take several weeks to tell. &nbsp;Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca was a member of the ill-fated Narvaez Expedition. &nbsp;The expedition was tasked with colonizing Florida. &nbsp;To put it mildly, the start of the expedition lays out several omens for future episodes. &nbsp;</p> <p>Cabeza de Vaca image courtesy of: <a href="https://www.legendsofamerica.com/alvar-nunez-cabeza-de-vaca/">https://www.legendsofamerica.com/alvar-nunez-cabeza-de-vaca/</a></p> <p>Fife and Drum by Kevin MacLeod Link: <a href="https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/3748-fife-and-drum">https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/3748-fife-and-drum</a></p> <p>License: <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/">http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/</a></p>
