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

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.  Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca was a member of the ill-fated Narvaez Expedition.  The expedition was tasked with colonizing Florida.  To put it mildly, the start of the expedition lays out several omens for future episodes.   Cabeza de Vaca image courtesy of: https://www.legendsofamerica.com/alvar-nunez-cabeza-de-vaca/ Fife and Drum by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/3748-fife-and-drum License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
