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.
As a young man, Cabeza de Vaca did not require much in the way of book learning. In 1512, he fought under King Ferdinand of Spain at the Battle of Ravenna in Italy and in the early 1520s fought in Spain under the Duke of Medina Sidonia. History loses track of Cabeza de Vaca's career until about 1527, when he is attached to a Spanish expedition being sent to the New World.
