Opis

In 1528, the Spanish explorer Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca and his three companions were shipwrecked and, looking for help, began an eight-year trek through the deserts of the American West. Over three centuries later, the four ""Great Surveys"" in the United States were consolidated into the US Geological Survey.
