Episode 4 - The Island of Ill Fate

Episode 4 - The Island of Ill FateAfter the storm, the survivors of the Narváez expedition were no longer conquerors, soldiers, or explorers in control of their fate. They were castaways.Stranded on the Texas coast, hungry, sick, and surrounded by a world they did not understand, Cabeza de Vaca and the remaining Spaniards were forced to depend on the Native peoples of the coast for survival.This episode follows the first brutal chapter of their life after the wreck, as the story of exploration becomes a story of endurance, captivity, adaptation, and survival in early Texas.Become a supporter on Ko-Fi:https://ko-fi.com/thehistoryoftexasSupporters help me research, write, record, and preserve these stories of Texas History.Thank you for listening to The History of Texas.Follow The History of Texas:YouTube:The History of Texas - YouTubeSpotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/0QQ3yhHCr3hNFGp9j5ih6fApple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-history-of-texas/id1896845677More links:https://linktr.ee/texasruneforgeMusic: "Anamalie" by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com).
