Debated Cabeza de Vaca route raises Kansas link doubt
The Topeka debate over Senator Moody s account of Alvas Nunez Cabeza de Vaca s 1520s wanderings questions the theory that Santa Rosa and Malhado lie near Florida and Alabama. Citations argue Nunez s party did not traverse Kansas as Moody suggests, and present alternative routes ending near Texas and New Mexico, with heavy focus on indigenous hosts, inland prairies, and river crossings.
