    Loved the video...thank you. Estavanico being black and De Vaca being white must have added to their wonderment on top of the strange knowledge they brought with them.
    Long time ago, I spent my youthful summers exploring Follet's, Moody's and Mud Islands...from the pass to Bastrop, Christmas and Drum Bays, which much being walkable/wadable and easy with a small boat. There is a lot of food there along with mosquitos, flies, fleas and snakes to name a few...all the more so in the early 1500's...birds must of blanketed the skies during migrations, plus fish, shrimps/crustaceans and oysters/clams had to be super abundant in those intercoastal waterways, but I could not imagine living there with no modern conveniences. Now that is roughing it and freshwater must have been a big chore. Them moving to Galveston Island was not much different. I wonder what they would think now...good or bad? I think I would love to visit there back then, but not stay there without our conveniences. ❤❤✌✌

      Yes! Thank you for watching!
      Please check out that podcast from Brandon Seal linked in the description!
      He compiles Cabeza De Vaca’s account with modern historical evidence while telling the entire story of the group!

      @@galvestonunscripted Okay I will. Thanks.
      You think you could have made it back then?... Not me lol
      It really is amazing that they survived their journey to Mexico City from the DR.
      Personally, I think it is worthy of an epic Hollywood movie. It would make Dancing with Wolfs look like a cakewalk...lol

    Great timing, I am just finishing Cabeza de Vaca’s account right now. It’s only 100 pages but what amazing adventure.
