Thanks, maybe down the road. I hope you read the report if I don't
If you are at all familiar with the US gulf coast you will be floored.

I just finished reading the report to the king, it is fascinating.
And I am familiar with the Texas portion of the gulf, I think I recognize the area south of Houston from the report. I would bet the part where they find the island is galveston island.
And you can tell when they cross the Rio grand.
What I find interesting is that they avoided the cannibal tribes near the mouth of the brazos, that the French encountered in the 17th cent.

Hi punkin
I don't want to hi jack Hans thread. I do think the report does have have enough teeth to be discussed here as a report about one of the very first supposed exploritory forces north of what is now called the Gulf of Mexico.
The time frame is correct and it most certainly would impact the Old World.
I say go for it.
Hans can u2u us if he dissaproves. Did you read the original or the enhanced version of the report?

No I didn't see the link to the report, could you provide it again please

reply to post by Hanslune


I just Googled, actually Binged, all the same "Cabaza de Baca report to the king"
It is impossible to get links up for me but I am working on a method.
Punkin should have it also.

That is it.

Your link is the real McCoy

I didn't look very well. There must be many out there.
The link you posted is the proper report but does have tiny footnotes but the report looks good. If we used a report without notes we wouldn't be influenced by the notes. But what the heck.
It's all good. Like Punkin, I know vast streches of the Gulf shoreline. And the wildlife etc.
