Wear to volumes themselves is minimal; small scuff at tail of third volume's spine. Else fine. A handsome set with crisp, clean internals. Ãlvar Núñez Cabeza de Vacaâs account of the doomed Narváez expedition to the vast unexplored lands beyond the northern frontier of New Spain has long been heralded as the quintessential tale of the European confronting the wilderness of North America and its native inhabitants for the first time. After living captive among native peoples of the present-day Texas coast for almost six years, Cabeza de Vaca traveled overland through present-day western Texas and northern Mexico until being reunited with his countrymen near the Pacific coast. His account offers an isolated glimpse of areas of Gulf coastal Texas and northeastern Mexico that would not be visited again by Europeans for over 150 years and is the earliest authentic eyewitness description of the North American bison. Volume 1 presents the first modern edition of Cabeza de Vacaâs original 1542 relacià n and a new, annotated, facing-page English translation. It concludes with a newly researched study of Cabeza de Vacaâs life. Volume 2 analyzes the narrative in discrete segments, putting into context Cabeza de Vacaâs descriptions of the landscape, ecology, and peoples he encountered. It also includes new research into the preparations of Narváezâs expedition in Spain and a fresh study of the lives and fates of Cabeza de Vacaâs three surviving companions. Volume 3 considers the literary and historical contexts of Cabeza de Vacaâs relacià n. The literary inquiry examines the workâs creation, publication history, and literary and cultural legacy from the sixteenth century to the present. The historical analysis presents new studies of Spanish exploration in the Gulf of Mexico (1508â"28), Spanish speculation on and exploration of the South Sea (1502â"39), and Nuño de Guzmánâs conquest of Nueva Galicia (1530â"31).
