On this day, the Spanish conquistador Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca is shipwrecked on a low sandy island off the coast of Texas. Starving, dehydrated, and desperate, he is the first European to set foot on the soil of the future Lone Star state.
Alvar NÃºÃ±ez Cabeza de Vaca was born in Spain around 1490. He grew up during the age of great voyages to the New World. Columbus, CortÃ©s, Vespucciâall of these were names he knew. In 1527 he sailed on PÃ¡nfilo de NarvÃ¡ezâs expedition to conquer what is now Florida. On June 15, 5 ships and 600 men sailed from SanlÃºcar. Their mission was to bring Christianity to the âheathens,â by force if necessary. Plus, they planned to return rich with gold! Cabeza de Vaca did get to Florida. But his accomplishments were not the ones the Spanish had wanted. He was among the first to report on the inner areas of Florida and on the opossum and the armadillo. He was the first to explore what is now Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona.
