Detailed explanation-1: -He lived for several years among Texas Indians, learning the tribes’ languages and customs. In time, he reunited with three other survivors of the original expedition. The travelers gained a reputation as healers, and their fame spread as they slowly made their way to Mexico.
Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: Cabeza de Vaca was important to Texas history because he and his companions were the first Europeans to explore the region. Furthermore, he kept extensive notes on the indigenous peoples who lived there, making his writing important for discussing Texas’ pre-European history.
Detailed explanation-3: -During their stay on the island Cabeza de Vaca became sick, and was unable to continue on with the fourteen others. The Indians of the island traded him, now considered a slave, to another group on the mainland. He stayed with these Indians for more than a year until he eventually became a trader.
Detailed explanation-4: -All of the craft eventually made landfall along the Texas coast from near Galveston Island to Matagorda Peninsula. The raft captained by Cabeza de Vaca came ashore on present-day Follets Island, as did another, leaving about ninety Spaniards and at least one African slave on soil of the future Lone Star State.
