Review of 'A Land So Strange: The Epic Journey of Cabeza de Vaca ' on Goodreads

Remarkable story of survival and exploration across the American south from Florida to the Pacific, and the utopian conversion of the title character as conquistador left with nothing relying for years on the care of many communities of Native Americans.
