In the 2002 book, "We Came Naked and Barefoot: The Journey of Cabeza de Vaca across North America" (University of Texas Press) archeologist and ethnohistorian Alex Krieger traced the route of Cabeza de Vaca through Texas and Mexico based on his translations of the explorer's 1530s account. Krieger's knowledge of the region—its geography, natural resources, and native peoples—sets his study apart and makes his proposed route the most reliable. |
