Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca was a Spanish explorer and one of the first Europeans to travel through what is now the southwestern United States. He was part of the ill-fated Narvaez expedition in 1528, which aimed to explore Florida but ended in disaster. After being shipwrecked and separated from his companions, he spent nearly a decade wandering through various indigenous territories, eventually reaching Mexico. His experiences were later documented in his book, "La Relación," which provides valuable insights into Native American cultures and the challenges of early exploration.
