First Encounters Lesson

The first known book written entirely about North America was La Relacion, an account that describes the exploration of North America by Spanish Conquistador Alvar Nuñez Cabeza de Vaca (c.1488-1558).

Please view the following video, which will introduce you to the incredible story of Cabeza de Vaca. Please be patient while the video loads - depending on your internet connection, it may take some time. Ensure that your speakers are turned up, and use the controls at the bottom of the presentation to pause and review the video as you need.
