Produktbeschreibung
The first major exploration of the North American continent began in Florida in April 1528. Pánfilo de Narváez led an inland expedition with 300 men. Only four survived. The courageous quartet endured an astonishing eight-year odyssey, traversing more than 3,500 miles from Florida to the shores of the Pacific Ocean. One of the survivors, Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca wrote his book, the Relación, in 1542, detailing their amazing journey. Yet, precisely where this expedition began has long been debated by researchers and historians. In this book, author James E. MacDougald provides an analysis of published research and a new investigation, finally establishing that one of America's most important historic events began in present-day St. Petersburg, on the shores of Boca Ciega Bay. Based on MacDougald's years of study, he adds a new and independent analysis, using research resources not available to many previous historians that details one of the most important Spanish expeditions in North America.

Autorenporträt
Jim MacDougald is a Florida researcher and historian. His years of study led to the 2018 publication, The Pänfilo de Narväez Expedition of 1528. Upon its completion, MacDougald continued his research, and after acquiring very rare maps, he wrote The Maps That Change Florida's History, published in 2021. At the urging of Florida Humanities, MacDougald wrote For God, Glory, and Gold to tell the story of the early Spanish expeditions to Florida and the mainland in a succinct and easily digestible format. MacDougald resides in St. Petersburg, Florida and Beaver Creek, Colorado, with his equanimous wife, Suzanne.
