This is the astounding story of castaway spaniard conquistador Alvar Nuñez Cabeza de Vaca, told by himself, of how the Narvaez expedition was lost at see and how most of the men perished in horrifying manners trying to reach safety. It took Cabeza de Vaca eight years to traverse the continental USA, from Florida to Mexico, in 1536, amidst terrible hardship, suffering and hostilities to be able to reach safety before he could tell this story.

1) The real-life story is 5+ stars - just an amazing piece of history.
2) The written work by the Cabeza de Vaca is OK (3.5 stars). It is only 60 pages. A real author would have had no trouble filling 1000 pages with this incredible adventure.
3) The translation from Spanish seems good - 5 stars.
4) The book itself is well made and came quick. It is printed to order. They are not sitting around waiting to be bought (5 stars).
5) The book is optically scanned and the character recognition is fair (2 stars). There are many errors.
Summary: incredible story worth reading. Get a better source off the web, like a free Library of Congress .pdf. A story like this deserves to be accompanied with maps, forward, editor's background, footnotes, ...
