Chronicle of the Narvaez Expedition by Álvar Núñez Cabeza de VacaMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Brief, but not an easy read, though it contains fascinating observations that make it worth the effort. A lot of the vagueness obviously comes from the challenge of writing about things never written about before, but even the details of the Spaniards' expedition itself were sometimes difficult to follow. However, the glimpses of the land seen hundreds of years before today's countries came into being made it worthwhile.
Read from October 12 to 21, 2015
