Detailed explanation-1: -The expedition was initially led by Pánfilo de Narváez, who died in 1528. Many more people died as the expedition traveled west along the explored Gulf Coast of the present-day United States and into the American Southwest.
Detailed explanation-2: -As the journey progressed, the boats were gradually lost, and at about the beginning of November 1528, Narváez disappeared when his own vessel was suddenly blown out to sea. Only four men survived the expedition.
Detailed explanation-3: -Cortés imprisoned him and pacified many of his soldiers by promising them gold if they would join him, as most did. He regained control over the indigenous people and found that he had gained a great deal in terms of men, weapons, and horses from his victory.
Detailed explanation-4: -One of the major themes of Chronicle of the Narváez Expedition is how Cabeza de Vaca and some of his companions are able to adapt to the environment and overcome many hardships to survive-a theme that would define countless other American dreams in the five hundred years to follow.
