In 1527, six hundred men left Spain, sponsored by King Charles. in

Negro, named Esteban. Led by Cabezo de Voca, they stopped for provision
at San Domingo, where some of the men deserted. then on to Cuba
part of the expedition was destroyed by hunicoin •.
Finally reaching Florida. their number was cut in half by fever
hostile indians. The remainder continued up the Florida coast where
but four of Ihis luckless group ... ere wiped out lIY a storm. Esteban, Corbelal
de Vaca, and Iwa other Spaniards made their way ashore and continued Ihei
IreSvels for "ighl years, braving all types of hardships. until Ihey arrived'

DR. QUARLES SAYS ..
The illustrated magazine, Golden Legacy, certainly lives up to its name, teliing us things of the storied past that are well worth knowing . Each volume catches the spirit of the times and the personality of the participants. As one
turns the pages the past seems to come alive, particularly those aspeds of it which up to now have generally escaped our attention .
In publishing this series the Fitzgerald Publishing Company is helping to develop a richer understanding and appreciation of the American heritage, and it is helping to promote better relations between individuals and groups. The Fitzgerald Publi shing Company is to be highly commended for this contribution to our popular culture, for this evidence of a concern for the common good.
