2. Hi! I’m Delaney Kemp and I believe that my
explorer- Cabeza De Vaca should be the
explorer of the year because he set out with
600 other men in search for new land but
didn’t have any particular reason for doing
this. He is a Spanish explorer that left from
Spain in his big ship called the Narvaez.
3. Then after several
months at sea four out of
600 men survived to the
porting of his ship in
Tampa Bay, FL on April
15, 1528; and he was one
of the four. There he
tried to concur the state
but failed in 1529. But
when he did not concur
Florida he left on a route
that we will thank him
for, forever.
4. He left and traveled
from Tampa Bay, FL to
Galveston, TX. Then
around the Rio
Grande. Then to
Mexico City. Then
settled in Veracruz,
Mexico.
5. Date of Birth:1490s He has a real long name and

the ground and cleaned his
wounds and then left a cow
head out in the dust for him

peace to the Christians
6. Vote! Vote Cabeza De Vaca as the Explorer of the year! I believe this because he set out
with nothing in mind to find but new land foe us to live on, and for freedom or religion.
Now I think that is called braveness! And to be one of the four out of 600 men to
survive on a huge ship and to keep going with out giving up even when his crew
members where leaving him. (you know what I mean) So vote Cabeza De
Vaca, Explorer Of The Year.
