Detailed explanation-1: -By September 20, they had finished building five boats. They sailed on September 22, 1528. After being ravaged by disease, starvation, and attacks by the various peoples they intended to conquer, 242 men had survived.
Detailed explanation-2: -In 1528, another expedition, led by Pánfilo de Narváez, set sail from Spain to explore the North American interior. A long series of disasters left most of the expedition dead. A group of 90 men, headed by Álvar Nuñez Cabeza de Vaca, shipwrecked near Galveston Island.
Detailed explanation-3: -One of these “four ragged castaways, ” as history calls them, was Narváez’s second-in-command, Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca. Cabeza de Vaca’s published account of his travels through Florida and Texas is the only surviving first-hand record of the expedition.
Detailed explanation-4: -After claiming the land for Spain, Narváez began an overland expedition in May with about 300 men. The force made a difficult and distressing march northward, continually fighting Indians, until the survivors reached the area of present-day St. Marks, Florida, near the end of July.
