The expedition met with disaster after disaster, eventually leading Cabeza de Vaca to a seven-year stay among the Indians, first as a captive, then as a trader and healer. He came to believe that the Indians should be converted to Christianity with kindness and later attempted to put his ideas into practice.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Ewa Beach P/S Library YA -- Nonfiction 970.01609 Nunez Cabeza de Vaca CH Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii Kai Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 970.01609 Nunez Cabeza de Vaca Ch Checked In Add Copy to MyList
