Description

The Lakeside Classics Series. Edited with an introduction by Harold Augenbraum. ¡lvar N˙Òez Cabeza de Vaca was a Spanish explorer of the New World, and one of four survivors of the 1527 Narv·ez expedition. During eight years of traveling across the US Southwest, he became a trader and faith healer to various Native American tribes before reconnecting with Spanish civilization in Mexico in 1536. After returning to Spain in 1537, he wrote of his adventures in " La relaciÛn of ¡lvar N˙Òez Cabeza de Vaca" published in 1542. 88p. maps, illus. index. The Lakeside Press Classics series was started in 1903 by Thomas E. Donnelley, [who] believed that a simple book, dignified and well designed, would be an appropriate holiday gift. Beautifully printed on fine paper in a handsome green cloth covered boards, with gilt title and decorations. Small format nice gift volume.
